cereus‚ a soil bacterium‚ and B. anthracis‚ the cause of anthrax: the three organisms differ mainly in their plasmids. Zakharyan R.A et al. first reported the presence of plasmids in B. thuringiensis and suggested involvement of the plasmids in endospore/crystal formation. They also described the presence of large plasmid in the Cry+ variant of B. thuringiensis Upon sporulation‚ B. thuringiensis forms crystals of proteinaceous insecticidal δ-endotoxins (Cry toxins) which are encoded by cry genes

Introduction: Being able to identify a particular bacterial species is important. It is very useful in knowing its risk of toxicity to humans or animals‚ its resistance or susceptibility to antibiotics‚ and determining how to control its growth or kill it altogether. The purpose of these procedures is to discovery the identity of an unknown microbe by observing its reactions to a barrage of chemical and physical tests. Different microorganisms react in different ways‚ due to their function‚ digestibility

make up all tissues.1 However‚ due to the lack of staining techniques at the time‚ not much was known about nervous tissue and many scientists wondered if it even conformed to the same rules followed by all the other cells in the body. Two major theories were proposed regarding the nervous system: the reticular theory by Josef van Gerlach‚ and the neuron doctrine theory.1 Eventually‚ in 1873‚ an Italian scientist named Camillo Golgi discovered a staining technique that allowed the neurons and the fibers

information presented in this module along with additional outside research to answer the questions: 1. Describe how applied microbiology is used to improve aspects of life and the environment. Microbiology is the study of microorganisms (VanMeter‚ VanMeter‚ & Hubert‚ n.d.‚ p.3). These are all of the things not visible to the human eye. With the study of microbiology‚ it enables us to find things such as viruses and bacteria. This is helpful because sickness and certain outbreaks can be prevented
