Data On The Spore Of Myxobolus Dermatobius Ishii

To this day scholars offer a number of different interpretations of Euripides’ The Bacchae. This essay will argue the centrality of ‘sophia’ (wisdom) and its opposite ‘amathia’, similar to the interpretation offered by Arrowsmith and Dodds: that the central idea of The Bacchae is that wisdom – possession of humility, acceptance and self-knowledge, encompassed by the Greek word ‘sophia’ – is the greatest and most necessary quality humanity can possess in the face of godly power. In particular this essay will focus on how the central idea is communicated through the convergence of characters and dialogue in Euripides’ The Bacchae.

This study examined the effects of X-ray radiation on recombination frequency in Sordaria fimicola, a model organism. A Laboratory Manual for Biology 110 Biology: Basic Concepts and Biodiversity states that S. fimicola:

Citrobacter Freundii is a species of bacteria that can be potentially harmful to humans. It is known to cause meningitis by protruding into the brain and replicating itself (1). The Citrobacter species has also been found as a cause of some urinary tract infections, diarrhea, and even gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms (3). C. Freundii can be located in a wide variety of soils and water (3). Lastly, it is also the cause of many nosocomial infections due to its presence in water (1).

Firstly, eggs were collected from the eyes of Scomberomorus niphonius and disinfected in 1% sodium sulfite solution for 3 min, and subsequently in 3% Lysol brand disinfectant for 5 min. The disinfected eggs were then transferred to sterile vials to clone. Secondly, third stage larvae of Lucilia sericata were selected to be placed in 3.5% formalin for 5 min, 2% hydrogen peroxide solution for 3 min, and then 5% dilute hydrochloric acid solution for 5 min. After the two-step disinfection, the larvae remined vigorous. A hundred randomly selected larvae were proven to be aseptic by bacterial culture test.

The coastal and nearshore habitat of the Hawaiian monk seal is where most runoff water concentrates; thus, increasing exposure of T.gondii eggs to the Hawaiian monk seal (NOAA, 2013). The parasite is transmitted to the Hawaiian monk seal through either direct ingestion of toxoplasma eggs from the water or from consuming toxoplasma infected marine prey (NOAA, 2013). Toxoplasmosis can cause inflammation and dysfunction of the heart, liver, brain, and immune system; thus, increasing the vulnerability of the Hawaiian monk seal to other environmental threats (NOAA, 2013).

Scientists studying fish in the Chesapeake Bay stated that they have discovered mycobacteria in some of the fish, causing ulcers, emaciation and sometimes death. The article also talks about this kind of mycobacteria having harmful effects on humans. People should be more careful about dealing with fish in the Chesapeake Bay. While the scientists are still studying and learning about this new discovery, they are also looking into and leaning towards prevention. According to the article, “Mycobacteria isolated from Chesapeake Bay fish”, “Studies are currently underway to

The purpose of this lab was to identify an unknown microorganism using lab techniques. The importance of identifying microorganisms is essential to the survival of humans, expansion of modern day medicine and improvement of quality of life. In 1884, Hans Christian Gram designed a differential staining technique to identify bacteria that would change the future of microbiology. He give rise to a staining process, known as the Gram stain to differentiate microorganisms into two groups between positive and negative gram staining microorganisms. The Gram stain is essential in a lab technique as it distinguishes the cells based on the physical properties of the individual cell walls, and is almost always the first test preformed to differentiate a microorganism. The identification of weather a microorganism is gram positive or negative can revel the bacteria’s virulence, cell wall structure, resistance to antibiotics, resistance to physical disruptions and so much more. In order to identify the unknown provided, unknown #27, the Gram stain was the first test preformed. After discovering that the unknown bacterium was indefinitely a gram positive microorganism, the vast possibilities were narrowed down. However, In order to more definitively identify the unknown, the next step was to preform biochemical tests. A biochemical test identifies metabolic

Cultural characteristics of unknown #462 closely resembled S. epidermidis as summarized in Table 2. Growth in the nutrient broth was cloudy with some sediment

This experiment can be enhanced in many ways. The amount of alcohol used as treatments could be lessened to measure the viability of A. salina more accurately. The amount of cysts in each Petri dish was not consistent because there

For this experiment, I utilized unknown number three which I later identified as Staphylococcus epidermis. I concluded that the unknown organism was Staphylococcus epidermis based on numerous tests performed in the laboratory which I will discuss in detail throughout this paper. One of the first tests performed was the Gram Stain. The Gram Stain

Although the verities above state that barnacles prefer shaggy, hard surfaces to grow on, I think if the same type of wood with different textures is tested to see how effectively each texture grows barnacles, then the wood with the small ridges will be the most effective at growing barnacles. In my experiment, I am testing textures including wood with small ridges, large ridges, small holes, and large holes. Answering my question above of how do textures affect the rate of barnacle growth, the evidence, or facts, above state that most likely barnacles will grow on flat surfaces away from seaweeds and close to the shore lines. However, the barnacles take time to decipher where and when it is ready to attach to with its antennae to feed or grow.

The Naegleria fowleri amoeba resides in lakes, rivers, thermal springs, dirty swimming pool and sometimes soil. The amoebas thrive during the summer months due to the increase of temperature(Shakoor, Beg, and Mahmood 258). Naegleria amoeba infects and targets brain tissue of the central nervous system and the neuromuscular system. The central nervous system is responsible for integrating and responding to neural signals. The nervous system and muscles in the body work together to permit movement called the neuromuscular system. The brain is the main control for integrating sensory neurons and coordinating body functions: voluntary and involuntary. When needed to move a body part, a message is sent to the afferent sensory neurons, which go through the brain and into the spinal cord where the efferent motor neurons send an electrical signal to trigger the muscle to contract. Errors such as sliding of the actin and myosin filaments or failure to release neurotransmitters from the neuron can happen. The infection causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) (Shakoor, Beg, and Mahmood 258).. It cannot be contracted by person-to-person, or by drinking contaminated water. The amoeba enters the body via nose by infected water and/or dust and penetrates the cribriform plate(Shenoy, Wilson, and Prashanth [Page 309]). It travels to the brain by the nerves that transmit olfactory senses and causes PAM. It causes brain tissue damage and inflammation of the brain. The

Amphibacillus xylanus has the capabilities to be both anaerobic and aerobic depending on the environmental setting (Niimura et al. 1990). The EI is an obligate aerobe and grown on a TSA agar plate. Amphibacillus can become aerobic when grown on a TSA plate (Niimura and Suzuki 2015). Both the EI and Amphibacillus xylanus were negative for oxidase and catalase test (Table 4). The indicating factor for this species is its habitat. The EI and A. xylanus were each isolated from the soil (Table 4). This trait sets this species apart from the rest considering the other two species were from aquatic environments. A. xylanus motility indicated a difference from the EI. The EI was shown to have no motility and A. xylanus does have motility. Depending

Myxomatosis, the disease caused by the Myxoma virus, occurs naturally in South American cottontail rabbits.

Life on this planet began with microorganisms. Through millions of years microorganisms have found ways to successfully adapt and survive. These adaptations have created a wide biodiversity, allowing them to basically populate in all places. Why are these microbes so important? Because they shape the history of our world. Some microbes can be deathly to humans while some others are favorable, for example, bacteria that lives in the gut of both humans and animals and helps during the process of digestion (Alfred Brown & Heidi Smith, 2006). Understanding these interactions help scientists to find ways to protect humans from potential deathly pathogens. In order to observe microbes, microscope proficiency and microorganisms’ identification are crucial skills in a microbiology lab. During this laboratory session, samples of environmental and human organisms were inoculated into two different rich media and incubated to their according temperature. After this, appropriate use and calibration of the microscope was performed. Lastly, morphology and size of different species of bacteria, algae, fungi and protozoan were recorded.
