Question: Suppose a meteor impact blows some extremophile bacteria from the Earth into the depths of a gas giant planet called planet X ‚ where they evolve into an intelligent species which practises physics. Do you think their physical theories would be similar to ours‚ and if so in what ways would they be likely to be similar? Your answer will necessarily involve some speculation‚ but make sure it involves some careful argument as well. Theoretical physics is one of many braches of physics that

health and is easily infectious with contaminated sustenance. E. coli is gram-negative bacilli tested in clinical settings from stool specimens. The tests detect the presence of disease causing pathogens of E. coli that produce Shiga toxins. E. coli bacteria commonly occur in nature and they are a necessary component of the digestive process in humans and most other mammals. Most strains of E. coli are harmless‚ but pathogenic E. coli can be responsible for inflammation of the stomach and intestines

When he returned‚ he noticed a clear halo surrounding the yellow-green growth of a mold that had accidentally contaminated the plate. Unknown to him‚ a spore of a rare variant called Penicillium notatum had drifted in from a mycology lab one floor below. Luck would have it that Fleming had

A. The typical human mouth contains a writhing orgy of bacteria. Most of these. Most of these microscopic organisms are bengin‚ and some are even beneficial‚ but one particular variety is a conspicuous troublemaker: Streptococcus mutans. These ubiquitous bacteria thrive on sugars in the mouth‚ which they consume while excreting lactic acid. This acid is responsible for the great majority of tooth decay in humankind because it erodes the enamel and dentin of the teeth. B. A Florida-based company

When body defenses are weakened in some way‚ by illness‚ old age‚ malnutrition‚ general debility or impaired immunity‚ the bacterial can multiply and cause serious damage. Usually‚ when a person’s resistance is lowered‚ bacteria work their way into the lungs and inflame the air sacs. The tissue part of a lobe of the lung‚ an entire lobe‚ or
