Abstract- Due to increase in the incidences of drug resistant pathogens‚ there is a need for the development of alternative drugs against which the microorganisms will not be able to develop resistance. The most promising candidates to be developed as alternative drugs are the antimicrobial peptides. In the present study the antimicrobial peptide Microcin C7 was docked with the catalytic domain of Diphtheria toxin and further the simulational studies were performed to find the stability of the complex

UNIT 4222-265 Causes and Spread of infection (ICO2) 1) Infections are the result of the body’s inability to fight off microorganisms that can cause damage or disease if they are left untreated. They can be viral or bacterial in nature and might be caused by a fungus or parasite. There are many common types and there are some rare ones which all have varying causes and treatments. Common bacterial infections include strep throat‚ urinary tract infections and E. coli; the different types are caused

Title: The use of plasma treatment in Textile Finishing. Plasma technology is explored in the field of textile processing as an unconventional process. It is a “dry” technology and is intrinsically ecological and environment friendly. The conventional wet treatments applied in textile processing for fibre surface modification and others are associated with many constraints. These treatments mainly concern with energy‚ cost and environmental issues. Application of Plasma technology at low temperature

10/11/13 Microbial Growth Background Information: This lab was conducted in order to understand basic differences among differential and selective media‚ while recognizing how each media is used to isolate and identify microorganisms (Wistreich‚ 2003). The first microorganism analyzed was Staphylococcus epidermidis. This organism is gram-positive‚ single celled‚ arranged in grape-like clusters‚ and cocci in shape (Bukhari‚ 2004). S. epidermidis is approximately 0.5 to 1.5 micrometers in diameter

Autumn White Biology 258-05 November 26‚ 2012 Unknown #19 Enterbacteriaceae Enterobacter aerogenes ABSTRACT The objective of this report was to identify an unknown microorganism through several differential media tests. Over the course of a couple weeks‚ ten tests were performed. First‚ a gram stain was performed‚ indicating the bacterium was gram negative. An aerotolerance test determined that the bacterium was a facultative anaerobe. Next‚ a negative result in the

Microbiology Module 02 Homework Assignment Use the information presented in this module along with additional outside research to answer the questions: 1) Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic. a) Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are two types of cells that are very different but share some certain properties such as methods of reproduction‚ protein synthesis‚ an organized metabolism‚ response to stimuli‚ and plasma membranes. One significant difference is that prokaryotes are without a cell

In addition to this‚ the microbiome has brought into being within the digestive system such as the stomach as well as the intestines‚ however‚ it is likewise discovered within the mouth‚ oesophagus as well as in the skin. Similarly‚ it has been stated by Flint (2012) that it is the whole bacteriological makeup and there exist distinctive microorganisms discovered within each and every portion

the most numerous type of microorganism found in the rhizosphere of the soil. They produce secondary metabolites which are capable of producing antibiotic which eventually inhibit or kill bacteria. The rhizosphere region of the soil is a highly favorable habitat for the proliferation‚ activity and metabolism of numerous microorganisms. The magnitude of this area depends on the plant and the size of the roots that the plant possesses. Bacteria are among the microorganisms living in the rhizosphere
