Essays on Bacteria

Bacteria, which are naturally present on airport surfaces, have been shown to be capable of promoting the biodegradation of glycols prior to their transport to receiving waters. Strong-Gunderson et al. (1995) showed that a soil-derived consortium of gram-negative isolates was able to biodegrade ethylene and…

Salinity is one of the significant issues which ultimately leads towards loss of yield among important crops. For all significant crops, average harvests are a fraction – anywhere amongst 20% and 50% of record yields; these losses are because of drought and high soil salinity….

After culturing cells, there are multiple colonies in the 1x102X culture plate. There are not only bacterial colonies but also fungal growth in the plate. A colony was carefully chosen and picked up to be cultured in nutrient broth for further use. From the results…

People living in developing countries depends primarily on traditional plants as a source for treating diseases by killing microorganisms such as E. coli and Salmonella that causes diseases and illness in the body. One of such common plant available in developing countries like Philippines is…

Materials and Methods Fish collection and maintenance. Live fish specimen of selected carps species (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis, Cetenopharyngodon idella and C. carpio), irrespective of sex, average range length of 21 centimeter (cm) to 34 cm and weighing 210 – 910 grams of each species were procured…

DiscussionIn present study, all selected carps (H. nobilis, C. idella and C. carpio) secreted huge amount of mucus. Also mucus secretion varied among selected fish species. Blackstock and Pickering (1982); Negus (1983) and Nigam, Kumari, Mittal and Mittal (2012) also reported the similar results. This…

Bacteria are single-celled organisms that found all over the world. Most places of bacteria are found in clean water, the ocean, dirt, animals, and humans. A lot of bacteria are not dangerous to humans, and in their normal habitats they have a essential piece of…

Introduction These days, one of the most common diseases among the world’s population is related to bone injuries. Thus, mimicking natural bones through making polymer/inorganic composite biomaterials would be a good way to produce implants to replace the damaged bone tissues [1, 2]. One of…

Generally, there are several accepted properties that contributes to the total antibacterial properties of honey. These factors include acidity/ low pH, low water activity, low water content, high total or reducing sugar content, phytochemicals and production of hydrogen peroxide (Irish, Blair and Carter, 2011). As…

Growing up in soil isn’t that bad you know, I spent the first 40 years of my life in the soil in a horse paddock. I would say that it has made stronger as a bacteria. Sorry I haven’t formally introduced myself, I’m squad leader…
