Gut Bacteria In today’s world‚ many people have a very negative connotation when they hear the word “bacteria”. Bacteria have been the cause to many diseases‚ however bacteria do have some benefits and uses. There are thousands and thousands of different types of bacteria in the world and one group of bacteria‚ Gut Flora‚ has become evident in the bacterial community for being beneficial. Gut Flora is a group of bacteria that consists of microorganisms that live in the digestive tracts of animals

For example‚ in Queensland a deep‚ fertile clay soil is suitable for intensive agriculture but a shallow‚ sandy soil is better suited to grazing and growing native trees. The suitability of a soil for a particular purpose can often be

defined as soil. Soils come in an almost infinite variety of vertical structures and textures. Most soils are hundreds of years old and change very slowly. The work ability of the soil is the ease in which a soil can be cultivated and is determined by the soil texture. There are distinct layers of soil that are not always visible to eye but are made up of different horizons. O horizon/Humus is the decomposing plant matter. A Horizon/Topsoil is the mixed humus and leached mineral soil. E Horizon/

What is soil erosion? Soil erosion is a natural process‚ occurring over geological time‚ and indeed it is a process that is essential for soil formation in the first place. With respect to soil degradation‚ most concerns about erosion are related to accelerated erosion‚ where the natural rate has been significantly increased mostly by human activity. Soil erosion by water is a widespread problem throughout Europe. Soil is naturally removed by the action of water or wind: such ’background’

TITLE Lab #4 Soil –vs- Water Microbiology INTRODUCTION There are 4 learning goals for this lab: 1. Collect samples and compile data from at least 2 sources (soil; water) of your choice. 2. Identify at least 2 Prokaryotes (bacteria) and 2 Eukaryotes (fungus) in your samples. 3. Research the importance of bacteria and fungus to Earth in a non-medical context. 4. Compile a high-quality‚ 3+ resource (excluding the lab worksheet)‚ MLA-cited in-text laboratory report using the scientific method

Isolation of Bacteria in our Physical Environment Introduction: The purpose of the lab is to apply what has been learned so far in Microbiology‚ and use it to collect and examine microbial species from the physical environment. The physical environment around the lab will be utilized to find out the variety of different microbial species growing in and around the lab. This investigation will help in preparation for the individual projects that will be done at the end of the semester. Materials

Classification of tropical‚ sub-tropical and acid zone fruit – area and production – scope and importance. Climate is of fundamental importance in the development of fruit cluster. Fruit has been a major food for mankind from time immemorial. Primitive man‚ the food habit was based mainly on fruits and also tubers which were found wild in the forests. In fact Adam who is considered to be the progenitor of man was said to have temptingly given the apple. In Ramanaya and Mahabaratha the cultivation

Tutor: Date: Foundation Engineering Soil exploration obtains information about the subsurface parameters and conditions at the proposed Soil exploration as part of site investigation. In general‚ it deals with determining the suitability of the site for proposed construction. This consists of determining the profile of the soil deposits at and near the site. It mainly consists of taking the soil samples and checking the engineering properties of the soil and testing it in Situ. It then gets to
