The purpose of the lab was to test how temperature will affect the rate at which starch hydrolyzed. In the experiment conducted‚ bacterium; Bacillus Licheniformis and the fungus; Aspergillus Oryzae was used to examine how changes in temperature of the enzymes affects the rate of the reaction with starch. Amylase is an enzyme‚ found chiefly in saliva and pancreatic fluid‚ that converts starch

Dobrinka Atanasova Anthrax Anthrax is acute infectious disease that affects humans and other mammals. The causative agent of Anthrax is Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus anthrasic is a rod-shaped bacterium that forms spores (3). As we know‚ spores can survive many‚ many years in harsh conditions. Furthermore‚ the bacterium is also Gram-positive‚ encapsulated and aerobic (2). Anthrax can enter and affect the body via the skin‚ the lungs or gastrointestinal tract. The first one‚ the skin‚ is the least

It can also provide Vitamin K2. It prevents the establishment of pathogenic bacteria‚ and is associated with or found in the intestinal organ. The antibiotic that E. coli is resistant to is Penicillin. Bacillus subtilis—better known as B. subtilis—is known as the hay bacillus or the grass bacillus. It is gram and catalase positive. It is rod-shaped‚ with the ability to form a tough‚ protective‚ shield around itself. It can tolerate extreme environmental conditions‚ and is an obligate aerob. The antibiotic

Preston Pictures are at bottom Anthrax is a infectious disease caused by a bacterium called Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax most commonly occurs in livestock‚ but it can also occur in humans when they are exposed to infected animals or to tissue from infected animals or when anthrax spores are used as a bioterrorist weapon.Anthrax is most common in agricultural regions where it occurs in animals. Although anthrax can be found globally‚ it is more often a risk in countries with less s98\standardized

In this instance a yellow sputum was produced by the patient‚ which will be taken to the lab an analyzed under a microscope. There are three suspect bacteria‚ which are Bacillus‚ Mycoplasma‚ and Escherichia. A discussion of staining procedures‚ as well as

INTRODUCTION Cassia fistula Linn. (Leguminosae) is a very common plant and is widely known for its medicinal properties. In the Indian literature‚ this plant has been described to be useful against skin diseases‚ liver troubles‚ tuberculous glands and its use in the treatment of rheumatism‚ hematemesis‚ pruritus‚ leucoderma‚ and diabetes.[1‚2] Besides‚ it has been found to exhibit anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic activity and widely used as a mild laxative suitable for children and pregnant women

Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by exotoxins released by the bacteria‚ Bacillus anthracis‚ a spore-forming bacterium (Islam‚ 2013). B. anthracis is a Gram-positive‚ rod-shaped‚ spore-forming bacterium. It is a causative agent of anthrax‚ but rapidly an infectious disease that affects both animals and humans (Liu‚ 2014 & Elad
