“Oil-eating bacteria



Scientists at University of the PhilippinesDiliman’s Molecular Microbiology
Laboratory have identified a number of bacteria which can help solve the problem of oil spills in oceans and seas through this technology. These are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumanii,
Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus, Bordetella bronchiseptica and Lysinibacillus sphaericus. ●

Another group of bacteria, the cyanobacteria are plantlike because they have chlorophyll-containing cells.
Most of them are singlecelled, some form filaments, while others form spores.
Cyanobacteria grow in ditches, esteros, or in moist places like gardens and



In Northern Luzon, people eat raw Tab-tab (Nostoc) as salad. Spirulina cells are rich in protein, thus, have been grown to produce
Single Cell Protein (SCP). It is used as swine and cattle feed and is also recommended as food for humans. ●

Examples of cyanobacteria are
Lyngbya, Microcoleus,
Oscillatoria, Nostoc, and
Spirulina.



Anabaena azollae, another cyanobacterium is important in agriculture. It converts nitrogen in air into compounds usable by plants for growth and development.
The same being done by the
Rhizobium group of bacteria.
They are present in the root nodules of legumes.



Certain bacteria, like
Bacillus thuringiensis, have been developed into a microbial pesticide. It is used to control pests and insects carrying disease-causing BAD BACTERIA

    Specific bacterial morphologies noted in exercise one come from the spiral bacteria sample. The shape appears to be corkscrew in nature and vary in length throughout the sample slide. The length varies but the width seems to be uniform. The color most likely arises from the stain used to allow for better visualization of the organism. The Bacillus sample has no discernable morphology and appears as round ended, and cylindrical shaped in nature. The organisms have a black tint which is probably related to the type of statin used for visualization of the organism.…

    There are several different medical reasons for identifying microorganisms. The reasons may vary from having to know the causative agent of a disease in a patient to be able to treat and care for them properly, to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain antibiotics as well as proper dosages, down to knowing all microbes associated with consumed foods such as plants and animals in case of an allergen or a contamination outbreak. This analysis was done by utilizing all of the proper methods taught thus far in the microbiology laboratory for the identification of two unknown bacteria.…

    The theory of endosymbiosis is that eukaryotes may have developed some of their internal cell structures/organelles from one cell engulfing another cell and then both developing a type of symbiotic relationship. Each engulfed cell would eventually serve a specialized function in support of the new single eukaryotic cell and eventually neither portion would be able to exist independently.…

    fungi

    A fungus (/ˈfʌŋɡəs/; plural: fungi[3] or funguses[4]) is a member of a large group of eukaryoticorganisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds (British English: moulds), as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, Fungi, which is separate from plants, animals, protists and bacteria. One major difference is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin, unlike the cell walls of plants and some protists, which contain cellulose, and unlike the cell walls of bacteria. These and other differences show that the fungi form a single group of related organisms, named the Eumycota (true fungi or Eumycetes), that share a common ancestor (is amonophyletic group). This fungal group is distinct from the structurally similar myxomycetes (slime molds) and oomycetes (water molds). The discipline of biology devoted to the study of fungi is known asmycology (from the Greek μύκης, mukēs, meaning "fungus"). Mycology has often been regarded as a branch of botany, even though it is a separate kingdom in biological taxonomy. Genetic studies have shown that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants.…
