Soil Microbe Lab Antibiotics are chemicals produced by substances that kill or inhibit the growth of bacterial cells (Hurney et al 2013). These microbes‚ such as bacteria found in the soil‚ may seem like they would be harmful to the human body because they attack cells‚ however they are very efficient at only attacking the bacterial cells. Actinomycetes are one of the more common groups of these soil microbes known to produce antibiotics. Antibiotics work because they target specific aspects

They are essentially only a few micrometres long and form of various shapes including the spheres‚ rods and spirals. A BACTERIAL CELL Illustration courtesy of Wikipedia. A Virus (from the Latin noun virus‚ meaning toxic or poison) is a sub-microscopic particle that infect the cells of a biological organism. Illustration courtesy of mc3cb.com. BACTERIA VIRUS STRUCTURE

1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria are a living cell organism that can survive inside our body and other non living objects as well. There are both good and bad bacteria’s and the good bacteria is known to helps fight against the bad bacteria that makes its way into our bodies. According to www.righthealth.com‚ less than 1% of bacteria are actually harmful to us. In fact‚ we couldn’t survive without bacteria in our body. Bacterial infection is

Aya Zbedah Ballard High School The purpose of this project is to see which preservative will either slow down the growth of bacteria or speed up the growth using the three most common preservatives: sugar‚ salt and‚ vinegar. Humans usually have a problem keeping their food safe and clean at the same time to prevent from getting sick. But what they don’t know is that the way they

differentiate types of bacteria using certain physical and chemical characteristics of their cell walls. Gram positive bacteria (which show up purple after the gram staining process) have a very thick layer of peptidoglycan where gram negative bacteria (which show up pink after the gram staining process) have a much thinner layer of peptidoglycan. One thing to note is that not all bacteria are gram positive or gram negative‚ some are non-reactive to this type of staining. Bacteria that are non-responsive

all bacteria are harmful and that maybe the Earth would be better off if all bacteria were eliminated. What would life be like in a bacteria-free world? Bacteria help decay materials and put vitamins and minerals‚ and gases into the atmosphere. Without them the world would be able to produce little food. Bacteria are woven into the food chain. Without them‚ nutrients would not be recycled in soils as efficiently as they are. Our own digestion of food would not work so well without bacteria that

or the stage closer to the objective lens‚ using the coarse- or fine- adjustment knobs. The two objects that were studied was the Paramecium caudatum which is a bacteria‚ and Amoeba proteus which is an protozoa. Our hypothesis are that we will discover an bacillus‚ coccus‚ or a spiral shaped bacteria. Paramecium caudatum/ Bacteria Species of Paramecium can be distinguished from other ciliates by their cigar or slipper shape and the undulating membrane within the peristome - a furrow that leads

identified as the stuff of life “DNA” The Experiment Griffith’s experiment‚ reported in 1928‚ was one of the first experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process known as transformation. Griffith went about deriving his results by means of using two strains of Pneumoccocus (Streptococcus pneumonia) bacteria which he used to infect several mice. A type smooth strain and a type rough strain. The smooth strain has its components covered by a polysaccharide

monkeys; never did I think about a mutating mold or ever-changing bacteria. Evolution is why this world and every organism survives the way it does. Darwin called evolution “descent with modification”. Both prokaryotic cells that create bacteria and eukaryotic cells that make up most other forms of life evolve. Natural selection and genetic variation are simply the way evolution happens. This is why there is an antibiotic resistance. If bacteria are constantly changing then antibiotics must change too.
