differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Answer to 1.1 – The difference between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites are: Bacteria – Bacteria is a single celled organism‚ bacteria have evolved to be in any environment and can be found in any substance/surface and also in the human body‚ only 1% of bacteria is actually harmful. It’s bad or infectious bacteria that causes illness as they rapidly reproduce and produce a toxin that kills or mutates cells‚ bacteria is also self-sufficient

MIC 230 Unknown Identification Report The objective of this experiment was to identify an organism from a mixture of two unknown bacterial species. In order to accomplish this‚ I first plated my unknown mixture on Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA)‚ Columbia Naladixic Acid (CNA)‚ and MacConkey’s Agar (MAC) plates. After 48 hours of incubation‚ it was unclear that two different bacterial colonies had grown on my TSA plate. Only one type of colony was evident. However‚ it was apparent that I had successfully

This is because gold is very resistant to bacteria. Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organisms. Bacteria are prokaryotes‚ meaning the entire organism consists of a single cell with a simple internal structure. The DNA of a prokaryote is neatly packed in the nucleus. The bacterial DNA floats freely in a twisted threadlike mass called the nucleoid. Gold is unaffected by almost everything. The only materials that can affect gold are man-made. Since bacteria are a natural organism‚ it cannot react

Application of lactic acid bacteria There are four major categories for the current uses and applications of LAB: food‚ cosmetic‚ pharmaceutical‚ and chemical applications. In food industry Recent years the interest increased in using LAB by using bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS) because of their potential use as a natural antimicrobial agent to enhance the food safety of food products and increase the nutritional values of the food. Foods that fermented by LAB such as cheese

respiratory diseases or viral infections and people who have weakened immune systems are at greater risk. Pneumonia bacteria are present in some healthy throats. 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

INTRODUCTION The enzyme catalase converts hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water and O2. The evolution of O2 causes bubbling. Thus‚ catalase-positive organisms that are mixed into hydrogen peroxide will cause bubbling (catalase-negative organisms will not). This test is good for distinguishing between Gram-positive cocci in chains (catalase negative) versus Gram-positive cocci in clusters (catalase positive). The coagulase test is used to differentiate Staphylococcus aureus from coagulase-negative
