Plague Still a Pesky Disease Joe Schmuckadelli Barry University Melbourne Campus Author Note This paper was prepared for BIO_342‚ML Spring A‚ taught by Professor Stephen M. Garramone‚ M.D. Introduction Long considered the scourge of Western civilization this disease has cropped up numerous times in history. In its worst form it is a rapid‚deadly and almost complete infection taking out entire towns‚villages and even countries. Today‚ it still exists but fortunately much‚ much less severe

If a multi-ethnic society affects the bacillus of nationalism‚ it loses its strength and durability. And we need to understand how far-reaching effects can cause condoning attempts to stir up ethnic hatred‚ and hatred toward people of another culture and another religion. Shakespeare ones said;

The Black Plague One of the most devastating pandemics in human history was The Black Death. It killed over 200 million people during the seven years from 1346 to 1353. People think that The Black Death originated from Central Asia and traveled with fleas and rodents on The Silk Road. The Black Death actually arrived in ships with sailors that were sick‚ had fever‚ unable to keep food down and had really bad pain but the scariest of them all was their body were covered with mysterious black boils

amylase activity and the starch. This is experiment displayed how efficiently temperature affected the shape of the enzyme‚ thus affecting the enzyme activity so It could function properly. Methods: Aspergillus oryzae known as fungal amylase and Bacillus licheniform also known as bacterial amylase were the two enzymes that were used to examine the different temperatures in order to find the optimal temperature to break down the starch. During the preparation of the two spot plates with the temperatures

respondents were 28% male and 72% were female‚ 48% of them had primary school education while 42% were illiterates. The most prevalent isolated bacteria from cooked meals‚ bottled drink and fresh juice were; Escherichia coli‚ Staphylococcus auerus and Bacillus sp. The viable bacterial counts were 4.6 CFU/ml‚ 3.7 CFU/ml and 4.1 CFU/ml for cooked meals‚ bottled drink and juice‚ respectively. Key words: Street‚ food‚ vendors.

3. Result and discussion 2.1 Physicochemical properties The formations of BPM I-III were confirmed by FT-IR‚ powder XRD and SEM studies. 2.1.1 Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR spectra of BPM I-BPM III (Fig. 1a-1c) exhibited characteristic absorption bands of CTS ranges from 1637-1639 cm−1 which are attributed to amide I bands (C=O stretching mode along with an N–H deformation mode). Broad bands from 1130-978 cm−1‚ 1131-975 cm−1 and 1131-971 cm−1 were observed for phosphate stretching

Similar results were reported by bacterial strains are Shewanella putrefaciens AS96‚ Comamonas sp.UVS‚ Bacillus subtilis‚ Vibrio harveyi TEMS1 and Pseudomonas sp. SUK1. All these strains have shown promising results for dye degradation under static conditions (Khalid et al.‚ 2008; Jadhav et al.‚ 2008; Gurulakshmi et al.‚ 2008; Ozdemir et al.‚ 2008; Kalyani

At the beginning of the semester‚ samples of bacteria were obtained from various sources. Two bacterial colonies were isolated from plates that were incubated in the lab and these bacteria became the basis for this project. The bacterial cultures were maintained and used for various physiological‚ cultural‚ and biochemical tests and observations over several weeks. The purpose of culturing bacteria over half the course of the semester was to learn various techniques used in microbiology labs and
