Microbes or microorganisms are minute living things that individually are too small to be seen with the naked eye. There are several benefits of microorganisms; in fact‚ most microbes are beneficial‚ only a minute percentage of microbes are hazardous or can cause disease (J. Black‚ 2012). The following are benefits of microbiology: 1. Certain microbes play important roles in photosynthesis thereby generating food and oxygen which is critical to life. 2. Microbes have great applications in the food

The natural environment is highly populated with microorganisms such as bacteria‚ fungi‚ protista and several others. Microorganisms are microscopic in size and vary shape. They are found in the air‚ in water‚ on land and on other organisms such as humans and pets. Many microorganisms grow at rapid speeds and can be harmful and cause diseases. Although microorganisms may cause harm‚ society benefits from microorganisms in many ways. Microorganisms are necessary for the production of antibiotics‚

Unknown Report Emily Juhl Section – 3 April 15‚ 2013 Unknown #8 Family: Enterobacteriaceae Genus: Serratia Species: Marcescens Abstract Microorganisms are constantly finding ways to resists to antibiotics. For this reason‚ it is important to test and observe unknown organisms in the lab to continually improve the health and well being of society. The objective of this report was to first isolate a single colony of an unknown culture on a LB agar plate. From

to aquatic organisms. The organisms used were protists and bacteria which are microscopic organisms (Microorganisms). Herbicides are chemicals used to control certain plants such as weeds. Two hypotheses were tested in the experiment.H₁) The herbicides will affect the population growth rate of the microorganisms and H₂) The adding of herbicides will affect the general behavior of the microorganisms negatively. Each species were separated into their own six containers‚ four of which had chemicals

Explain the realm of microbiology and the type of organism‚ which one would expect to study. The realm of microbiology is the domain- Three domains‚ Bacteria Archaea‚ & Eukarya. What is a pathogen specifically? An agent that causes disease‚ especially a living microorganism such as a bacterium or fungus. b. Be able to describe the theories of biogenesis and abiogenesis

This is an important subject to study as microorganisms can be found everywhere‚ covering all matters of different surfaces even including the human body. Bacterium‚ or bacteria‚ is an important part to the experiment. Information about these microorganisms include; (Jamie Symonds‚ Medium Rare) • These are small organisms that are classified as prokaryotic microorganisms. • Bacteria are unicellular
