Bacteria and Archaea Bacteria and Archaea All single-celled organisms in the Bacteria and Archaea domains are referred to as prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are organisms whose genetic material is not contained within a nuclear envelop. These cells are profoundly important to the environment‚ medicine‚ and industry. (Postlethwait & Hopson‚ 2010‚ p. 196) Bacteria and Archaea are similar in shape‚ size‚ and appearance. They are both found occurring as rods (bacilli)‚ spheres (cocci)

What is Food Microbiology Food microbiology is the study of food micro-organisms; how we can identify and culture them‚ how they live‚ how some infect and cause disease and how we can make use of their activities. Microbes are single-cell organisms so tiny that millions can fit into the eye of a needle. They are the oldest form of life on earth. Microbe fossils date back more than 3.5 billion years to a time when the Earth was covered with oceans that regularly reached the boiling point‚ hundreds

Systems Biology Systems biology involves the study of an organism as one single system. Instead of analysing all the individual components that make up a cell‚ the cell is instead viewed as an interacting network of genes‚ proteins and biochemical reactions and these are studied as a whole. In 20th century‚ molecular biology was focused upon. A ‘reductionist’ approach was followed‚ in which the individual components‚ such as the cell nucleus or sugar metabolism‚ were studied in isolation. However

GEORGE ROMBO Cholera This is an infection of the small intestine caused by bacterium vibrio cholera. Transmission is mostly from the fecal contamination of food and water that is caused by poor sanitation Susceptibility About 100 million bacteria must typically be ingested to cause cholera in a normal healthy adult. Children are also more susceptible with 2- 4 year old having the highest rates of infection Individual susceptibility to cholera is also affected by their blood type with those

My journey to the unknown started about three weeks before the end of my microbiology class at Brunswick Community College. This journey started out with a media plate cultured with an unknown species of bacteria. I was then instructed by my professor to use all of my previous knowledge to identify the unknown bacterial pathogen. This lab led me to master my skills of using the Gram stain‚ testing for catalase‚ testing for coagulase and using the oxacillin screen. Now I am going to take you with

Sarah Burns Evolution of Plague Bacteria The Bubonic Plague otherwise known as the Black Death‚ has gotten most of its attention from medieval paintings‚ poetry‚ and journals of revulsion. The real horror‚ was the disturbing biological evidence of the bacteria that caused all the pandemics‚ known as Yersinia pestis. The pathogen got its name from the two investigators Yersin and Kitasato. In 1894‚ Yersin was known as the main investigator (ergo. Named after him)‚ he claimed that the mice/rats were
