Tetani Clostridium. Tetani Clostridium is responsible for the critical, often lethal, disease Tetanus which is caused by the exotoxin tetanospasmin. Escherichia Coli is a microbe that lives in our gut and can be very helpful to us. Both microbes are bacteria and are rod-shaped bacilli. Both of these microbes have an interesting life cycle, one can help us and both can make us sick, use different life processes and are affected by their environment. Escherichia Coli (Background of E. Coli) Life Cycle

into the genome of the bacteria through the use of inoculation loops, Laurel Broth, transformation solution, and procedures such as heat shock and incubation. This experiment involved four bacterial agar plates, two of which we genetically transformed (experimental groups; +pGLO LB/amp/ara and +pGLO LB/amp), and two of which we did not genetically transform and were control plates (-pGLO LB and -pGLO LB/amp/). Out of the two genetically transformed bacteria, only the bacteria containing arabinose sugar

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an additional genetic disorder that can cause several implications to a patient. Cystic Fibrosis is the most prominent single- gene genetic disorder. An individual inherits the disease through a combination of both parents having the CF gene in their genetic make up. Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that mainly affects the digestive system and lungs of a carrier. The defective gene causes the body to produce “a thick, sticky buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas and other organs

In a world full of bacteria, it would be logical to attempt to dispose of them when they become harmful. But what about the bacteria that digest your food, or make yogurt? Mary Roach’s essay, “Germs, Germs Everywhere. Are You Worried? Get Over It,” published in the New York Times, criticizes the fantasy of eradicating all germs by using humor, logos, and ethos. Roach’s most prominent use of creative language is humor, focusing on mocking the radical ideas of extreme germaphobes. In the first

victim gets sick because when the virus takes over the copying of the cells it makes copies of itself. Viruses lack what living organisms do. They don’t grow or make waste. Viruses also don’t consist of cells and they can’t live without the help of other cells so the virus can multiply. Viruses can’t even move on their own, when they want to move somewhere they ride on cells to get to places. Viruses are also considered to be non-living because they don’t consist of cells. Most of all they don’t have

Legionnaires’ disease, also known as Legionellosis, is a type of atypical pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacteria. It is estimated that around 90% of Legionnaires’ disease cases are caused by the bacteria Legionella pneumophila. Other types include L. longbeachae, L. feeleii, L. micdadei and L. anisa (Fields, et al., 2002). This serious lung infection causes inflammation of the alveoli and consolidation due to the host’s immune response to the bacterial invasion. This could ultimately impair
