energy source in wide range. Additionally‚ Scientists were able to combat marine pollution by a biological solution‚ using some types of bacteria that have the ability to absorb oil spills. Also‚ they found that some types of bacteria for example‚ Pseudomona‚ Arthrobacteria and Cornybacteria can transfer oil slicks to droplets of water. As well‚ bacteria plays a significant role in the process of atmospheric nitrogen fixation‚ and that leads to increased soil fertility and production.

was to determine the effects that temperature has on three different organisms. Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting growth and survival of microorganisms². The three organisms used where Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ and Bacillus stearothermophilis. Most bacteria grow within a particular temperature range. The minimum growth temperature is the lowest temperature at which a bacterium can still grow‚ while the maximum growth temperature is the

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY An easy and practical way to make your shoes shinier with the use of alternative plant. A shoe polisher can be a wax or a cream that can be applied directly to shoes. Applying shoe polish will not only just make your shoes shine but it also protects your shoes from any liquid substance especially during rainy days. Shoe polish is usually flammable‚ can be toxic‚ and‚ if misused‚ can stain skin. It should be used in a well-ventilated area with care

cabbage showed no growth over the course of the 14 day period on both the EC and PS plate‚ which is a desirable sign that the produce could be eaten. The EC plate is selective towards enteric bacteria‚ and the PS plate is selective to the species Pseudomonas‚ both of which are not ideal for consumption. Whereas‚ the data for the cucumber during the 14 day fermentation process showed growth on the PS for days 0-7 then declined. While the EC displayed a pattern of growth‚ decline‚ and on the last day
