CHAPTER TWO Beneficial bacteria in the environment and their uses. In today’s world‚ the environment and its related issues are steadily gaining a lot of importance. Some bacteria are helpful and are used to obtain balance in the environment. It has been seen that helpful bacteria are useful in dissolving organic sludge from water‚ breaking down the growth of algae‚ reducing the various noxious odours such as hydrogen sulfide odours‚ reducing ammonia levels‚ promoting faster growth of fish in the

Prokaryotes: Bacteria Most of us have been conditioned to think of bacteria as invisible‚ potentially harmful little creatures. Actually‚ relatively few species of bacteria cause disease in humans‚ animals‚ plants‚ or any other organisms. In fact‚ all organisms made up of eukaryotic cells probably evolved from bacteria-like organisms‚ which were some of the earliest forms of life. In this chapter‚ we will learn how bacterial groups are differentiated from each other and how important bacteria are in

Prevalence of trematode parasites in oreochromis niloticus harvested at Ggaba landing site. (fishing communities are faced with a challenge of close proximity with snails especially at a landing site with swampy areas since these are breeding sites for snails basing on parasitology studies trematodes use snails as intermediate hosts in their life cycle fish feed on snails and can also act as accidental hosts henceforth infecting humans) Hypothesis There are no trematodes in fish handled at Ggaba

Species found in the genus Cryptosporidium are protozoan parasites that cause diarrheal disease with a global distribution. They mainly affect children‚ causing a self-limited diarrhea in healthy individuals; nevertheless‚ in people with acquired immunodeficiency disorder or AIDS‚ the disease can be quite severe and result in weight loss or malnutrition. Intestinal cryptosporidiosis continues to be an important public health concern worldwide‚ most notably through outbreaks caused by contaminated

Methodology By using aseptic‚ a little cultured bacteria was inoculated on the TSA agar. A quadric streak was making. Inoculation loop was heated and keep it cold for a while before the next quadratic streak. Six agar plates were observed for 24 hour at temperature of 30ºC. Choose one from the dense colony and make a sub-culture on the new agar plate. The step was repeated to get a single colony‚ which is pure colony. a) Sequestration of bacteria from fish organs Methodology Dissecting set

of two microns to one micron. Widely known for the deadly stain found in feces and meat. The pathogen is still a major instrumental issue in human 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

Drawbacks of 2-kingdom classification Prokaryotes (Bacteria‚ cyanobacteria) and eukaryotes (fungi‚ mosses‚ ferns‚ gymnosperms and angiosperms) were included under ‘Plants’. It is based on the presence of cell wall. But prokaryotes and eukaryotes are widely differed in other characteristics. It included
