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 Microorganisms May 1‚ 2013 This paper is based on an experiment done in the laboratory over a period of time using the standard method of identifying an unknown microorganism relying on features such as morphology‚ arrangements and biochemical reactions. It was done in succession with each step complimenting the other. At the end of the experiment three microorganisms Bacillus azotoformans‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ and Escherichia coli was identified and one result was inconclusive. The

Corona Virus‚ SARS and Lister or food poisoning. There are many viruses and microorganisms out there and these are just a grain of sand on a beach compared to the amount of dangerous microorganisms there is out there. The microorganisms I have

A FERMENTER OR BIOREACTOR MICROBE INPUT :- The microorganisms that will carry out the fermentation process are cultured separately until they are growing well. These are introduced into the fermenter through the microbe input. NUTRIENT INPUT :- The microorganisms require an energy source to carry out fermentation. The energy source is usually a carbohydrate. Growth materials like amino acids for protein synthesis are also added through the nutrient input. STERILE CONDITIONS:- It is necessary

barriers to reduce the risk of harmful microorganisms entering the body (the skin‚ chemicals in tears‚ sweat and stomach acid). In suitable conditions (such as inside the body) these microorganisms can reproduce rapidly. Symptoms of a disease are caused by damage done to cells by the microorganisms or the poisons (toxins) they produce. Our bodies have immune systems to defend themselves against the invading microorganisms. The immune system uses antigens on microorganisms to recognise them. White blood cells

INFECTION CONTROL Pathogen- Infectious agent Colonization- If microorganism is present or invades host‚ grows and/or multiplies but does not cause infection. Communicable disease- if infectious disease can be transmitted from one person to another. -Symptomatic-if pathogens multiply and cause clinical signs/symptoms. -Asymptomatic- if no s/s are present *CHAIN OF INFECTION: 1. An infectious agent or pathogen 2. A reservoir or source for pathogen growth 3. A portal of exit from the
