lundensis produces catalase, oxidase and has a arginine dihydrolase system all similar characteristics to pseudomonas species. Most strains of P. lundensis liquefy gelatin as well. P. lundensis metabolism is respitory; it does not have the ability to ferment thus the strains all produce acid but no gas. P. lundensis has the ability to produce pyrimidines which cause food spoilage (Thomas, 2009). P. lundensis produces the enzyme urease which inhibits

The reduced form of GSH donates an electron to reactive oxygen species in order to stabilise them, and then the now reactive GSH readily combines with another GSH molecule to form glutathione disulphide (GSSG) in the presence of enzyme glutathione peroxidase. In lead induced oxidative stress GSSG concentrations are higher than GSH. (Flora, Gupta and Tiwari, 2012) Lead inactivates the glutathione by binding to the sulfhydryl group on glutathione reductase, acting as a toxic ligand

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES (RRL) Literature About the Malunggay Leaves Extract Against Staphylococcus Aureus Staphylococcus is a group of bacteria that can cause a number of diseases as a result of infection of various tissues of the body. Staphylococcus is more familiarly known as Staph (pronounced "staff"). Staph-related illness can range from mild and requiring no treatment to severe and potentially fatal. The name Staphylococcus comes from the Greek staphyle, meaning a bunch of grapes

Benefits of Genetic Engineering in Agriculture The production of technologies based on genetic engineering is often referred as modern biotechnology. With the improvement of genetic engineering techniques, the time for generating and evaluating new germplasm (a collection of genetic resources for an organism) can be drastically reduced. Genetic engineering may ultimately have their most significant effect on agriculture. Recent advances have raised possibility of development of new plant germplasm

Unknown Laboratory Report Sarah Mansfield Biology 203 Professor Lana November 19, 2014 INTRODUCTION Microorganisms are the earliest forms of life and most have thrived since the early birth of the planet. They have evolved into many different forms of life such as animals, humans, and plants. While some microorganisms impact life in a positive way by sustaining life, others cause disease and even death (Nester, et al. 2012). Prokaryotes are one of the earliest
