Bacteria and fungi can be both beneficial and detrimental to agriculture.
First of all i am going to look at bacteria:
“Bacteria are the oldest living organismson eath. their cells are prokaryotic-they have no true nucleus, mitochondria or chloroplasts, all of which are features of the more evolved eukaryotic cells. Bacteria are found in every possible habitat-soil, air ,freshwater, sea water, om our skin and in ourlarge intestines. Some can withstand extreme conditions, eg temperature of 80 degrees celcius. In hot springs, or extreme cold and high pressures on the seabed. (Cullen, 2011, pg70)
Advantages of bacteria in agrculture:
· Used in the production of antibiotics to treat many farm dieases and illnesses eg: penicillin
· Rhizobium bacteria in clover helps with nitrogen fixation
· Lactobacillus

Mastitis:”This is a bacterial disease of the udder. Infection occurs via the teat canal and is the result of bad hugiene. It exists in two forms, sub clinical (which is dectable only by bacterial examination of the milk) and clinical (i.e displaying more obvious symptoms). Infection is due to a variety of bacteria, possibly up to 20, including Streptococcus, Staphyloccus, Escherischia and pseudomonas.
Symptoms: Sub-clinical mastitis is diagnosed by bacterialcontamination of milk and reduced milk yield (up to 10% reduction). Symptoms of clinical mastitis include swelling and pain in the udder, clots in the milk and general ill-health.” (Breen & Mullen, 1992,
In this brief, the reader will see the pros and cons in antibiotic livestock. They will see commonly misunderstandings about antibiotics and facts. Throughout the paper the reader will see what long term and short term problems and benefits in livestock. In this research paper it will be covering antibiotics resistance and also how antibiotics it has changed the face of medicine.
Article: A glass of milk contains some alarming ingredients including hormones, pus and antibiotics. Even if your milk is raw, unpasteurized and organic, with less contamination and processing than regular store-bought milk, it still contains hormones — whether synthetic or natural — intended to boost a calves’ growth. And that can wreak havoc on your body.
When life arose on Earth about 4 billion years ago, the first types of cells to evolve were prokaryotic cells. For approximately 2 billion years, prokaryotic-type cells were the only form of life on Earth. The oldest known sedimentary rocks found in Greenland are about 3.8 billion years old. The oldest known fossils are prokaryotic cells, 3.5 billion years in age, found in Western Australia and South Africa. The nature of these fossils, and the chemical composition of the rocks in which they are found, indicates that these first cells made use of simple chemical reactions to produce energy for their metabolism and growth. Eukaryotic cells evolved into being between 1.5 and 2 billion years ago. Eukaryotic cells appear to have arisen from prokaryotic cells, specifically out of the archaea. Indeed, there are many similarities in molecular biology of contemporary archaea and eukaryotes. However, the origin of the eukaryotic organelles, specifically chloroplasts and mitochondria, is explained by evolutionary associations between primitive nucleated cells and certain respiratory and photosynthetic bacteria, which led to the development of these organelles and the associated explosion of eukaryotic diversity. Today Prokaryotes
Bacteria are single celled organisms. Some classify them as a separate (fourth) kingdom on the tree of life.
Bacteria is a single celled organism, bacteria have evolved to thrive in almost any environment and can be found in almost any substance/surface and also in the human body, only 1% of bacteria is actually harmful.
Microbes are bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. The earth was formed 4.6 million years ago. And a few million years later, by 3.5 billion years ago, earth was already inhabited by a diversity of organisms. The earliest organism is Prokaryotes and within the next billion years, two distinct groups of prokaryotes called bacteria and archaea diverged. Eukaryotes cell evolved from a prokaryotes community, a host cell containing even smaller prokaryotes .The microbial world accounted for all known life forms for nearly 50 to 90% of Earth's history. We are still researching microbial organisms today in marine environment, extreme environments. A microbial observatory is an NSF-funded project dedicated to the discovery and characterization of novel microorganisms and microbial communities of diverse
As trypsin itself is an irritant care was taken with this and hands were washed thoroughly. Nobody drank the milk.
As mentioned in The Littlest Farmhands, the fungus-like organism called Phytophthora infestans is known to cause potato blight and other crop diseases which leads to famines. There are many other fungi and bacteria that cause the roots and leaves of the plant to decay. On the other hand, microbial groups such as rhizobiome, have been discovered to help fight off crop pests and diseases. Other microbes have been found to help plants thrive in dry or salty environments; this will be beneficial when the world needs to adapt to climate change (Jop de Vrieze, pg 681). There is another beneficial microorganism called mycorrhizae, which forms fungal filaments at the base of the plant’s roots. These filaments carry nutrients and water to the plant cells for survival, and they let different crops communicate with one another to form a defense system in the event of a pathogenic attack. I strongly believe farmers should switch to the more natural way of taking care of their
Unlike what we have been thought, milk is unhealthy and it will cause many different diseases in human’s body. Even though that they try to limit the bacteria in raw milk before and after milking, but they just can lower the level of bacteria, they can’t remove all of it, and by drinking milk we transfer diseases to our body (Garedew et al, 2012, p 950). Before milking they will sterilize cow’s breast and also they will inject antibiotics to lower the level of bacteria in cow’s body. They also use sterilize milking equipment so the bacteria available on the equipment will not reach cow’s breast and directly milk. With all those sterilized processes they still need to do the pasteurization process because of
living hosts. Bacteria is a Prokaryotic cells that are present in the soil, air, water and in many
On August 10 2013 a six year old child (Alf) fell seriously ill after drinking cosmetic bath milk produced by Mootanicals Pty Ltd. Alf contracted ‘Haemolytic uraemic syndrome’ which can lead to death. Tanner (Alf’s father) purchased the milk from ‘Eco Health Store’. Curly Linton, a manager at Eco’s, advised tanner that the milk produced by Mootanicals was a healthier alternative to cows milk. The milk was sold along side, pasteurised milk and in similar packaging however it was unpasteurized and was labeled with ‘for cosmetic/bath purposes’. Evidence shows that the milk could be contaminated with harmful bacteria if it is unpasteurized, and Mootanicals does not test their milk for these bacteria’s. Evidence also shows that unpasteurized milk has a number of benefits however it is common knowledge that many people purchase it to consume despite the fact is illegal to sell unpasteurized milk for human consumption in Australia.
Bacteria are classified as microbes,which are single celled prokaryotic organisms that are invisible to the naked human eye. As diverse as humans are, microbes are even more so, having been on Earth 1,000 times longer than human beings, a total of 3.5 billion years. Because of this, microbes have evolved to inhabit practically all environments on this planet, from extreme high and low temperatures, no oxygen content, or
Breastfeeding is accomplished right away for some mothers, but for some it takes a while and a lot of patience. Initially, mothers may experience a lot of personal discomfort when they start their breastfeeding experience. With a lot of patience, education, support, and practice, new mothers can overcome discomfort. While breastfeeding is a wonderful experience, it is also very time-consuming. “Breastfeeding requires a huge time commitment from mothers, especially in the beginning, when babies feed often. A breastfeeding schedule or the need to pump breast milk during the day can make it harder for some moms to work, run errands, or travel” (Ben-Joseph, 2015). Unless a mother pumps and relinquishes her feeding duties, she may become irritated and exhausted, and waver from breastfeeding because of the time and dedication it requires. This in turn may cause her to be resentful towards her family, spouse, and even her baby. Another disadvantage of breastfeeding is that unless you feed a baby breastmilk through a bottle, there is no guaranteed way of measuring how much they are eating. Breastmilk digests a lot quicker than formula, so breastfed babies eat more frequently. This may cause a mother to worry that her baby is not getting enough to eat. A painful disadvantage of breastfeeding is that the mother may develop mastitis: an infection of the breast tissue that results in breast pain,
This demonstrates that raw milk contains a lot of bacteria even after multiple serial dilutions.
Prokaryote cells - bacteria and archeans. They are single celled organisms, where the DNA is not separate from the cytoplasm. These prokaryote cells formed the earliest and most primitive life on earth.
