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

What Made Rome Great By: Jack Mo There are lots of things that made Rome great‚ its location‚ its government and laws‚ its army and their successes‚ and its great buildings‚ but a few things stood out the most. Its location‚ its army‚ and its infrastructure were truly the most important parts of Rome and why it was so great. Unlike a lot of cities back then‚ Rome was not built on the coast. Romulus‚ the founder of Rome‚ could have easily built the city down by the see but he didn’t and this was

But I had much more to deal with in my daily basis. My routine was for the wonder woman and I didn’t complaint. Daily‚ I had to face a 84 miles commute from home to work to

Genetic engineering‚ also called genetic modification‚ is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence‚ or by synthesizing the DNA‚ and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed‚ or "knocked out"‚ using a nuclease. Gene targeting is a different technique that useshomologous recombination to

Evolution‚ Genes & the Environment Variation is when you refer to genes; it means that there is a large variety of phenotypes‚ alleles and genotypes which can sometimes cause genetic variation. This results in different physical characteristics. Some examples of variations in humans are eye colour‚ hair colour and gender. Variations caused by the environment are the climate (tanned/pale skin) this is affected by the environment as the sun comes in contact with your skin and will darken it‚ the

Abstract The main purpose of this experiment was to find which chromosome our unknown gene mutation is presented on and the exact location on that chromosome. In order to do so many cycles of crosses were completed using linkage analysis on Drosophila melanogaster‚ a type of fruit fly used in this experiment to identify our unknown gene mutation‚ unknown. Using virgin bar females crossed with Curly/Plum; Dichaete/Stubble male fruit flies represented our Discriminant Cross one (DC1). The

The Human Body – Data Made Flesh? The title of this essay derives from the words uttered by the protagonist‚ Henry Case‚ in William Gibson’s novel ‘Neuromancer’ (1984). This metaphor‚ which equates the human body as mere data turned into flesh encompasses the theory that in an age of increasing focus on information technologies and the ways in which people interface with them‚ the boundary distinguishing an individual from their surroundings becomes blurred‚ if not shattered entirely.
