life on the pale blue dot in the vast cosmos. Life seemed pointless when the reality of death constantly loomed. From biology classes I took in high school‚ I learned about microorganisms and there found the answers I had been seeking. The parallels between my life and these organisms were astounding. Although these microorganisms lived relatively short lives and seemed inconsequential they made a huge difference in the vast ecosystems they inhabited: either causing it to flourish or decline.

Environmental issues of biomass utilisation Biofuels are expected to be produced in larger volumes in the coming decades. However‚ unlike other renewable energy strategies (solar‚ wind‚ sea waves)‚ biomass resources are constrained by the availability of land and water. Energy inputs and fertilizers are also required in their growth‚ cultivation and production. In some cases‚ biofuels can consume a significant amount of energy that is derived from fossil fuels (Blottnitz and Curran‚ 2007).

their abilities to evolve and adapt to changing environments. That is why it is so important to be able to identify microorganisms. This study was conducted using techniques and experiments learned in microbiology lab that were used to classify the two unknown bacteria. The two unknown bacteria were presented in a broth culture labeled unknown #15 by Connie and Desiree. The ubiquity came from a swab of the cold room used for Microbiology Lab located in Life Sciences East. Techniques such as the

Evolutionary Bioenergetics of Protocells Introduction Bioenergetics is central to our understanding of living systems‚ though there has been very less research in field of finding the origins of life. Understanding the origin of cellular life on Earth requires the discovery of plausible pathways for the transition from complex prebiotic chemistry to simple biology‚ defined as the emergence of chemical assemblies capable of Darwinian evolution. A coherent pathway which starts from no more than

Microbiology Lab Quiz #2 Study Guide Exercise 9 -- The Gram Stain Compare and contrast simple and differential staining techniques. Simple Staining Simple staining is useful in determining the basic morphology of an organism. Simple staining involves only one reagent i.e. crystal violet‚ basic fuchsin‚ or methylene blue. Simple dyes used to stain bacteria have a positive charge cationic (+)‚ therefore‚ they are attracted to the bacteria that are usually negatively charged anionic (-) Depends

Some microorganisms have the astonishing‚ naturally occurring‚ microbial catabolic diversity to degrade‚ transform or accumulate a huge range of compounds including hydrocarbons (e.g. oil)‚ polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)‚ polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)‚ pharmaceutical substances‚ radionuclides and metals. Aerobic Biodegradation Aerobic biodegradation is the breakdown of organic contaminants by microorganisms when oxygen is present. More specifically

LAB Report #3 Introduction: In this lab we have focus on Isolation of bacteria from environment. Microorganisms are found throughout the environment: in the air and water; on the surface of any object such as clothes‚ walls‚ furniture; in soil and dust; and on and in our own bodies (skin and mucous membranes). In order to demonstrate the ubiquity and diversity of microbes in the environment‚ samples from immediate areas of the environment and/or from your body will be obtained and cultured
