- Antony van Leeuwenhoek is often referred to as the father of microbiology. However, many historians feel that Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, or perhaps both, deserve that honor. Decide who should be considered the father of microbiology and justify your decision.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements describe a culture or molecular technique in the study of microbes? a Molecular techniques are relatively cheap. b Molecular techniques can be used for mixed cultures. c All statements are acceptable. d Microbial cultivation is costly, time requiring and labor intensive.arrow_forwardselect a microbe that has proven to be either environmentally or socially beneficial to human beings. You are not restricted to bacteria, but the organism chosen must be considered a microbe. In your post, include an explanation of the microbe's discovery, its use (either environmentally or socially), and its normal habitat. You should cite your researcharrow_forward
- Humans have learned through history how to use the abilities of microbes to their advantage. Considering ways that we use them (not how they naturally have become part of our microflora), describe 3 methods used in the environment, industry, and in our daily lives.arrow_forwardYou are a doctor and patient of yours comes in with an infection related to a medical device that they recently had implanted. You discover that there is a complex microbial communities grown tightly adhered to the surface of the medical device, making it harder to treat. This microbial community is a called a ________. (Check spelling before submitting.)arrow_forwardChoose the best below ? Which of the following best describes the term microbiota? a. The microbes that are smaller than a eukaryotic cell.b.

- Note that it is not appropriate to self-diagnose outside of a medical context and this is a completely hypothetical scenario. Imagine you have a rash on your foot. You're concerned that it's an infection and inoculate a sample onto an agar plate. You wonder, How can I figure out whether the pathogen is a bacterium vs a eukaryote? You decide to use lab supplies to get a basic understanding of the pathogen. Be specific about what tests you use and what you expect the results to be. Limit yourself to experiments we could do in our lab. What is a procedure you could do, involving making a slide of the organism?arrow_forwardthe following are the steps, listed in random order, for utilizing koch's postulates. what should be the second step out of the four listed? a. a microorganism is found to be present in every case of a disease. b. the same microbe discovered previously is isolated from the purposely infected host c. the pathogen is isolated and grown in pure culture d. the same disease results after isolated organism is inoculated into healthy hostarrow_forwardWhat are the impacts of microbiology to the society?
