Introduction Although bacteria is microscopic in size‚ it is largely important in the healthcare field‚ environmental work‚ food preparation‚ as well as many other industries. In particular‚ it is essential that healthcare workers be able to identify the species of bacteria invading a human reservoir in order to prescribe the correct antibiotic that will kill that species. For the purpose of bacteria identification‚ numerous tests have been devised to find out the exact species in question. However

a. The bacteria that causes botulism are found in soil‚ water‚ animal guts and dung. When the spores exposed to low oxygen and certain temperature‚ they produce botulinum toxin‚ able to germinate‚ metabolize‚ food sources through an aerobic respiration to produce toxin. The toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine from motor nerve endings causing paralysis symptoms. The botulism either food born‚ eating contaminated home-canned foods where the fermentation takes place. or through abrasion in the

microorganisms which must be viewed with the aid of a microscope or electron microscope. The importance of microbiology includes: used in biomedical research‚ creation of medicines‚ environmental applications and new research tools. Disease causing organisms include: protists‚ bacteria‚ viruses and other microorganisms. Bacteria are important for fixing N2 in a usable form for plants. Bacteria and some fungi are important in decomposition and recycling of raw materials. Industry

Microorganisms can be prokaryotic—the bacteria or eukaryotic—the algae‚ protozoa or fungi. While viruses are acellular they are also studied in the scope of microbiology because they are small and because they infect cells. While most bacterial are unicellular they can also exist in colonial or multicellular forms. In this laboratory exercise you will examine the ubiquity and diversity of various microbes that are present in the environment or inhabit the human body. Most bacteria that inhabit the body are

Bacteria are among the oldest species in the world.They both incerease in number and comply with nature very quikly so‚they maintain their species.Therefore‚bacteria have been the most common type of species according to number.Hence‚bacteria had been classified in order to make analysis.easily.Bacteria can be classified into three main categories on the basis of their nurition:saprophytic‚parasitic and chemoautotrophic bacteria. The Saprophytic bacteria are the first type of bacteria

Bacteria and Archaea The Archaea are presently recognized as one of the two main domains of prokaryotes. The majority of genes that indicate Archaea to be different from Bacteria are for information transfer processes such as DNA replication‚ transcription and translation. Of these‚ DNA replication machinery appears to be most different between the two domains. In terms of transcription‚ the core subunits of the RNA polymerase are the same in Bacteria and Archaea‚ but archaea also contains several

Identifying a Problem T. L. Wilson Grand Canyon University Professional Research Project NRS-441V March 19‚ 2013 Identifying a Problem The clinical environment that I previously worked in was a correctional institution. During the time that I worked in corrections I encountered several inmates that had HIV. It was this environment and the experience that I received this idea and it is what gives me the inspiration to build a proposal for change. Within this system is where I discovered
