Can bacteria mutate? how?

Yes, when there are several different types living together somewhere, one kind usually does better. And they have plasmids containing genertic materials that help them cope with their surroundings. Often they trade these with each other, sometimes even species to species rather than just within species.





They also mutate in response to chemicals and radiation. Maybe all die except for the one mutating bacterium, but then it grows. This happens when people abuse antibiotic treatments or do not complete them. A big example is NYC drug addicts with HIV and TB. It's hard enough to kill TB if they complete their treatment, but when they stop after only one or two weeks, the TB recovers from the antibiotics used and develops resistance to them, producing MDRTB (multiply drug resistant TB) or if it is already MDRTB, it gets even more resistance to the latest ones for MDRTB. Also a big problem in Russian prisons and drug abusers.





The exact details are very long to answer here, but you can find out more on this subject at:

Also in the masterpiece best selling book, THE COMING PLAGUE, by Laurie Garrett, available in paperback now at any good bookstore. This is a VERY GOOD BOOK, far better than any best seller in this category, including by M.D. or PhD authors. In other words, I am telling you the author did more work, and better work on this than supposed experts have done. She gets PhD in Public Health *** laude from me.





I use both references, AND you haven't seen anything yet, just wait a very few more years, less than five, my friend.

Can bacteria mutate? how?
yes. They mutate to keep up with changes in their envorment
Reply:Yes and they do constantly.


Their DNA is attacked by environmental chemicals and toxins and background radio-activity.


Most mutations die off but there are so many bacteria that some will survive and reproduce.
Reply:Not as fast as viruses, but they do mutate. In fact, many are now resistant to antibiotics becasue of mutation. The non-resistant ones die off, leaving the resistant ones to prosper. Natural selection in a nutshell.
Reply:how i understand bacteria mutatin is mutation as in resistance to antibiotics. bacteria like all cells have organelles. one of which is the endoplasmic reticulum. there r two types of these namely smooth and rough ER. the sER is involved in drug detoxification and synthesis so when there is bacteria lets say within the stomach and we take drugs for this bacteria to kill it. it might work the first time but later on the bacterias sER will begin to adapt to the drug taken and soon it will b immune to the drug. that in itself is a mutation of the original bacteria to suit its environment in order to survive.


Give any five kinds of bacteria describing their common features?

1. enterococcus fecalis


2. eshericiia coli


3. yersinia pestis


4. pseudomonas aeruginosa


5. klebsiella pneumonia





they are all gram negative bacteria. they can cause urogenital disease and/or gastrointestinal disease, and they all have peptidoglycan in their cell walls.

Are bacteria growing in agar deeps motile?

how?

Are bacteria growing in agar deeps motile?
depends on the bacteria and the agar - if there is a lot of liquid left in the agar (soft agar) - they swim passively by water motion.


Some bacteria can actively swim (they have a flagellum) and move around in agar fairly well.


Can bacteria be transmitted through animals?Can antibiotics fight help fight viral and bacterial diseases?

Yes - bacteria could be transmitted through animals (through saliva, feces, blood, etc)


Yes - antibiotics can help fight BACTERIA


NO - antibiotics will not fight VIRUSES

Can bacteria be transmitted through animals?Can antibiotics fight help fight viral and bacterial diseases?
sure! they can.
Reply:firstly what do u mean can bacteria can be transmitted through animals??


i think u mean can an animal get infected by a bacteria infection then yes they can.





antibacteria agents can help fight bacterial diseases,





ill tell you how!





u know what peptidoglycans are ?? they are a component of the cell wall the bacteria has, penicillin binds to a pinicillin binding protein in the bacteria and this will prevent the growth of cell wall, this will lead the bacteria to release enzymes such as lysis which will destroy it and this is all due to fragile celll wall,





Viruses has No enzymes = no metabolism = resistance to true antibiotics


Most viruses are:





very susceptible to oxidising agents and radiation damage





resistant to quaternary ammonium and other biocides





Viruses with a lipid envelope are damaged by organic solvents and detergents








Many viruses are inactivated by;





extremes of pH


drying


moderate heating, e.g. 50°C for 30 minutes,





but survive freezing well.

Puppy bacteria help?

My question is has anyone used Metronidazole before has it helped .?for giardia

Puppy bacteria help?
I'm pretty sure that metronidazole is the only medication that is used to treat Giardia. It's an antibiotic that also helps reduce inflammation in the colon. It is frequently prescribed for dogs with diarrhea, but for giardia a larger dose for a longer amount of time is frequently prescribed.





It is also sometimes called "Flagyl" (the brand name). Try googling it and see what you come up with.





ADD: It is very effective for the treatment of giardia. Reinfection occurs when your dog contracts the parasite from contaminated water sources, IE drinking water out of lakes or ponds that fecal matter from infected animals runs into. You can also research what giardia is and how it is passed on the Center For Disease Control government website, http://www.cdc.gov
Reply:that is a question for your vet. has the pup been tested for giardia and if so was this med given by the vet? if so then use it they know best on treatments
Reply:Yes, metronidazole is a very effective antibacterial and antiprotozoal agent for treating giardia.
Reply:Get your puppy on canine Essentials, this will help with the bacteria, and help the puppys immuine system.I give this to my dog everyday.And she is very healthy.


If bacteria only reproduce asexually, how can they transfer genes?

Explain what methods and how it is accomplished.

If bacteria only reproduce asexually, how can they transfer genes?
it is called lateral or horizontal gene tranfer. Basically two bacteria join, exchange genetic material, separate. Result two bacteria each of which has now different genetic material than they had before having sex. Can only work in unicellular organisms.


Look up more on the web or in your text book
Reply:Um....when they REPRODUCE they create a complete COPY of themselves....GENETICALLY! DUH!
Reply:They don't just reproduce asexually. They do pair up and swap genes as well. It's more of a merging than sex, as such.
Reply:i no that i just dunno how to explain it wish i could be of more help but id say ud find out moer about it if you googled it bit by bit
Reply:It's called conjunction. One bacteria uses a "sex pilus" to inject some DNA into another bacteria, thus they transfer genes. (and as someone else pointed out, that's called horizontal gene transfer)


There is another way that genes can get to one bacterium to another, and that's transduction. That is where a bacteria gets DNA from a bacteriophage, a virus that can pick up DNA from one cell and give it to another.

Can bacteria and/or germs travel up the flowing water coming out of a faucet?

If you used a dirty cup or bottle at the water cooler at work, can the germs travel up the "stream" of water coming out of the cooler and contaminate the rest of the water?

Can bacteria and/or germs travel up the flowing water coming out of a faucet?
Yes, if the contaminated container contacts the water dispensor spigot and there is a trace of biofilm there. The micro-organism might enter the gel of that biofilm, be sheltered from the water pressureof fluid outflow and then work its way up through the matrix of the biofilm gel.
Reply:Thanks everyone Report It

Reply:Noway do u have any idea how small and slow bacteria are?? most of them can't even move! so no don't worry about it they cant. unless you touch the dirty cup to the faucet, then the faucet might get contaminated.
Reply:It depends on how strong the bacteria are, but generally hot water kills the bacteria before they have a chance to get up there. But it is possible.
Reply:Yes............use filtered water. There is plenty of reading material on this subject. You can get bacteria and viruses and various types of poisoning from the chemicals put into the water and natural things such as lead, etc.
Reply:dont worry about that think about how a water cooler works when you stop the cooler the stream of water is cut off and the rest falls there is no suction to pull the water up into the cooler. But if you did touch the bottle to te cooler baceria could be tranferred although they wouldnt multiply very much because of a lack of nutrients

Will bacteria, fungi etc trapped in kitchen hood cause health problems?

if you have a kitchen hood, you should also have a filter on it. most filters are stainless steel, flexible, and pop out of the frame for easy cleaning. you should remove that filter at least once a year, depending on the frequency of use of your cooktop, and let it soak in a hot bleach/detergent bath for a minimum of 30 minutes. rinse thoroughly in hot hot hot hot water, being careful not to burn your hands under the water and let it air-dry, then replace it. hope this helped you!!!

Is bacteria made of tissues, organs and/or organ systems?

Bacteria are not at all similar to cellular organisms.





They have no tissue or organs, since those are composed of cells.





Bacteria are much smaller and simpler than cells, although their DNA is surprisingly complex.





Bacteria are actually quite fascinating and they have many interesting facets that are not found at all in cellular organisms. The flagellum, for example, in some varieties is powered by a tiny microscopic motor that is powered by acid.





The world of bacteria is only now beginning to be opened up through the relatively young science of microbiology. I would encourage to read more about them if you think you would find it interesting.





After seeing the other comments, I felt compelled to add that bacteria are NOT cells.

Can Bacteria can be transmitted through animals?

Ah, yes, bacteria are actually everywhere. Even inside your guts, your blood stream, the carpet, the spoons, even in the air you breathe, they thrive everywhere in this planet. Some even survive to extreme temperatures, pressures... Oh, and antibiotics are to kill bacteria, but remember, when you got the flu, if you take antibiotics it won't work at all, because the flu is a virus, not a bacteria.

Can Bacteria can be transmitted through animals?
Absolutely....most common cause of food poisoning is the growth and transfer of bacteria in meat not sufficiently cooked (or left go too long after cooking and before eating)....so can parasites such as muscle worms (pigs and bears) and several other nasties...that is why people 'cook' meat...thousands of years of pain and suffering have taught us to.

Reply:The bible left a lot of things out. God probably figured it was already long enough...





Also, although the writers knew what to say through God, he put it in human hands so the language could be understood. That's why the old testament is filled with long and really weird sounding names and measurements, and why bats are called birds, because that's what everyone called them back then.





God doesn't bring up a lot of things; the platypus, black people (though they come up in the new testament), coconuts, Albinos. In fact, God intentionally left out the biggest detail of all, when Jesus would return. In case you haven't noticed, every generation has predicted he's about to come and his reign would begin, and they were all wrong, because Jesus left us hanging on purpose.





So if God would leave that out, is it so surprising he wouldn't bother telling the writers about little invisible animals that make you sick?





Note: Bacteria are not part of the animal kingdom as defined today, but taxonomy was very different 6 thousand years ago, they would have almost definitely been referred to as animals back then.

You can always purchase sugar free yogurt.





You can also just count the carbs as part of your meal and cover for it.





BTW- no one with diabetes should eat raw milk.We catch infections easier than others who do not have compromised immune systems.

Good luck





Edit: I am not a doctor, I'm only speaking from personal experience.


I began drink raw/unpasturized milk and eating raw milk yogurt and cheese when I began working for a fomager in a cheee shop. I noticed that my blood readings dropped from 175 fasting in the am to 115-120. I developed no infections, and have always been prone to them, and I had no indigestion which I normally get when drinking milk.


The ability to purchase unpasturized products is becoming easier and many alternative doctors, natropaths %26amp; homopaths, will tell you that raw is better.


In europe and other parts of the world, it's common to find these foods and perfectly healthy.


Of course....speak to your doctor first before starting anything. I did and after giving her information on the benefits and saftey factors enforced on farms that are allowed to sell these products, she agreed and has since recommended it to other patients.


I , also, suffer from no yeasts infections when ingesting raw/unpasteruized products...so for me, it works.


Do the research yourself.....maybe it will, maybe it won't be the right thing for you, but atleast check it out.
Reply:You can easily purchase sugar-free yogurt. It is delicious.

In bacteria cells, how are proteins made? and what do proteasomes do to break down these proteins?

Proteins are made just as they are in eukaryotes via the process known as translation. The ribosomes are slightly different (70S in prokaryotes versus 80S in eukaryoties) but they're still made up of rRNA and protein subunits. In eukaryotes, transcription (DNA ---%26gt; RNA) and translation are temporally and spatially separated by the nuclear membrane. In prokaryotes, however, there is no such separation as there is no nuclear membrane. That is transcription and translation can occur at the same time. I'm not sure how protein degradation works in prokaryotes - but i know in eukaryotes, proteins to be degraded are ubquitinated and this targets them for degradation by the proteasome. That's as much as i can offer

Reply:NO.





Bacteria does not mysteriously appear.





If bacteria was in the bottle (never opened) in the first place then only a slight problem exists (vary rare). It depends on the cell count to be sure of any health concern and for this a lab would be helpful.





Bacteria need a certain temp. (strains vary on this), a food source, and water in order to reproduce. Well there is plenty of water but no food in your water bottle. It is safe. If you have opened it and subjected to these extremes of temp. still your biggest concern is quality not health. Molds would then be your concern. Just a flavor thing.

How to eliminate gram positive bacteria from a mixture of gram-negative bacteria?

Gram (-) bacteria are resitant to things that Gram positive aren't.





You could eliminate g+ bacteria one of two ways from a culture of both of these types of bacteria.





Gram positive are suceptible to pencilin like antibiotics. Infusing those antibiotics into a culture with both of these bacteria will degrade the cell walls of the gram positive bacteria. They will not affect the gram negative bacteria.








Secondly, gram positive bacteria need specific amino acids and nutrients that gram negative bacteria can synthesize on their own. By creating a specific culture medium, one can kill off the gram positive bacteria.

How to eliminate gram positive bacteria from a mixture of gram-negative bacteria?
any kind of penicillin will do it. Other antibiotics can be effective against gram -, so check before.....

How bacteria makes a person sick?

Bacteria can make a person sick. But alot of problems come from bacteria that have been destroyed and can't protect us from the harmful bacteria. For instance yeast infections are almost always caused by a lack of the normal flora of bacteria. 60% of all you vitamin K that is used for blood clotting comes from bacteria in your gut. But the three main ways that they cause you to get sick is.





1. The natural flora is destroyed and a "bad" bacteria or yeast can flourish. If this happens then it goes to step 2.





2. The bacteria when it eats nutrients in your blood or body it produces toxins as a byproduct.





3. Or it can actually attack certain cells in your body and can cause harm that way.





Something that is common in older people is that they come in with an infection and the Dr. prescribes a powerful antibiotic called Rocephin. This wipes out the normal flora of the intestines and the person comes down with Clostridium Diff. They then prescribe a more powerful antibiotic called Vancomyacin. This seems to quell the C. Diff. but then they get yeast infections because there is no bacteria to protect them. The bacteria eventually develope a resistant strain called VRE to help combat the void left in the intestine and by this time the person is usually very ill because of the yeast infections and C. Diff. They then develope a Urinary Tract infection by the VRE and develope sepsis and then die.

How bacteria makes a person sick?
Well, there are many ways in which bacteria can make a person sick. But mainly there are two ways in which the operate:


1. Interfering with normal metabolism of the cell


2. Producing toxins which can harm the cell





The bacteria which cause disease are called pathogens and they live in/on our cells where they complete there life cycle.

Bacteria remains in our body,in every single corner of the world but yet does hardly any damage; even some of the bacteria are essential for us(Making Curd out of milk, releasing nitrogen from our body,decomposing bio-degradable stuff and helps in making our bonnes strong as well.).these stuff u can not expect from a virus as being a pathogen they tend to mutate and multiply based on the source organism
Reply:It can be, depending on what type of bacteria. On the other hand, it depends on which virus you're talking about. Either can be beneficial, or even deadly.
Reply:depends what kind of bacteria. There are no beneficial viruses, but there are beneficial bacteria, however.
Reply:Bacteria is a kind of organism, which can be defeated by organism. Virus is a genetic mutating agent, which cannot be defeated by organism. So, a virus is more dangerous than bacteria because it changes its genetic code(DNA) every time it invades a cell.
Reply:no virus are much more harmful than the former .viruses have the tendency to make copies of themselves using the DNA of the host and also manipulating it, where as they r non living things outside the host so it is difficult to study them. also there r many hybrids of viruses still unknown to the biologists but they estimate that they would manymore times harmful than the usual as they r the hybrids.the imp. point is they spread from one host to another much faster than bacteria eg: SARS, BIRDFLU etc. also many bacteria r useful like bacillus etc, but till now no virus is considered useful to humanbeings.
Reply:both are equally harmful. For example some species of gram positive and gram negative stephalococci can cause septicemia or septic shop.


Even virus such as hepatic virus can lead to hepatic coma
Reply:the ability of a pathogen (either bacteria or virus) to cause an infection depends on a factor called virulence.





Virulence is either the relative pathogenicity or the relative ability to do damage to the host of an infectious agent. The term is used mainly for viruses, but it can be more generally applied to parasites or bacteria.

Reply:The more harmful (to humans) is a bacteria, Clostridium botulinum. It produces botulin toxin, an extraordinarily poisonous substance that is lethal at a dosage of a mere 300pg/kg.





You did not ask about the benefits of viral and bacterial interaction with host organisms, but I will comment on the topic in the possibility that it is of interest. Bacteria, viruses and retroviruses offer benefits, including protection through adaptation of systems to fend of various attacks produced by other viruses, retroviruses and by bacteria.

What bacteria are located in the saliva of a Komodo Dragon?

There are over 50 different types of bacteria in Komodo saliva. Here is an excerpt on the most common:





"While Escherichia coli was the most common bacterium isolated from the saliva of wild dragons, this species was not present in captive dragons. The most common bacteria isolated from the saliva of captive dragons were Staphylococcus capitis and Staphylococcus capitis and Staphylococcus caseolyticus, neither of which were found in wild dragons."

Is bacteria a producer?

Yes, most bacteria are producers. In biology, bacteria are called "autotrophs", like plants. The other group are called "heterotrophs", and they are you consumers, like you and me and my cat over here.





Some bacteria, though, are also what you would call "recyclers". I forgot the biological term for recyclers. Some bacteria, on the other hand, feed on other bacteria, so asides from being like plants, they are also like animals, which are heterotrophs.

Is bacteria a producer?
It depends with respect to what prospective u r thinking of, in general they are considered consumers but yes there r some bacteria which can do photosynthesis but they most common ones those help plants fixing N2.

Reply:Most bacteria are not producers, they are consumers. Most bacteria are decomposers, though some are parasites.





The bacteria that are called cyanobacteria are producers that use photosynthesis. There are also some bacteria that live near deep sea volcanic vents and produce their own food using chemicals for energy. These bacteria are producers that use chemosynthesis.

Cyan & bacteria?

other term for cyano bacteria is "blue-green algae". it is called so because from the word "CYAN" meaning greenish-blue colour and they are classified as bacteria. Cyanobacteria contain the same kind of chlorophyll that is found in green plants, but it is distributed throughout the cell rather than confined in chloroplasts. Other pigments mask the chlorophyll in many species and impart a bluish or sometimes reddish colour.

Cyan %26amp; bacteria?
Do you mean...


cyanobacteria


Cyanobacteria are aquatic and photosynthetic, that is, they live in the water, and can manufacture their own food. Because they are bacteria, they are quite small and usually unicellular, though they often grow in colonies large enough to see. They have the distinction of being the oldest known fossils, more than 3.5 billion years old, in fact! It may surprise you then to know that the cyanobacteria are still around; they are one of the largest and most important groups of bacteria on earth.


Can bacteria travel through space?

Bacteria can definitely travel through space. Whether it will be intact after it hits a planet is the question. No bacteria currently on record could escape Earth's atmosphere on its own, but that isn't to say that a hearty spaceborne bacteria couldn't hitch a ride on a meteor impacting the Earth's surface. It is entirely possible we will see bacteria from space in our lifetimes. Of course, that bacteria will probably be defunct as if it survives in a vacuum. Any bacteria of this type would be anaerobic (without oxygen) and the introduction to our atmosphere would kill it. That is, unless there is a third type of bactera that can be both aerobic (survives in atmosphere) and anaerobic (survives with no atmosphere)





I would assume that some scientist in some country has thought to take bacteria samples to space to study the effects of a zero-g environment. In that sense, bacteria can travel through space, they just need a little help from a friendly researcher.

Can bacteria travel through space?
no, they can't survive
Reply:It is possible.
Reply:sure why not
Reply:Possibly inside of a meteorite, they think viruses can.
Reply:I guess its possible
Reply:no they cannot survive the vacuum
Reply:No they cannot because bacteria need oxygen to live like all living things but there are no oxygen in space so that's why astronauts bring oxygen tanks when they travel into space
Reply:It depends on the type of organism.If it is an anaerobic bacterium then it will definitely find it easier to travel through intersteller spaces.Some bacteria can survive at temperatures of 121 degrees and an acidic environment of 1-2pH also.Others are able to live on at temperatures as low as-20 degrees.
Reply:It can...and it has already. Look it up.
Reply:Yes they can travel as well as survive. see details:


On April 20, 1967, the unmanned lunar lander Surveyor 3 landed near Oceanus Procellarum on the surface of the moon. One of the things aboard was a television camera. Two-and-a-half years later, on November 20, 1969, Apollo 12 astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan L. Bean recovered the camera. When NASA scientists examined it back on Earth they were surprised to find specimens of Streptococcus mitis that were still alive. Because of the precautions the astronauts had taken, NASA could be sure that the germs were inside the camera when it was retrieved, so they must have been there before the Surveyor 3 was launched. These bacteria had survived for 31 months in the vacuum of the moon's atmosphere. Perhaps NASA shouldn't have been surprised, because there are other bacteria that thrive under near-vacuum pressure on the earth today. Anyway, we now know that the vacuum of space is not a fatal problem for bacteria.





What about the low temperature and the possible lack of liquid water in space? The bacteria that survived on the moon suffered huge monthly temperature swings and the complete lack of water. Freezing and drying, in the presence of the right protectants, are actually two ways normal bacteria can enter a state of suspended animation. And interestingly, if the right protectants aren't supplied originally, the bacteria that die first supply them for the benefit of the surviving ones!


VR
Reply:Yes, some satellites have been found to have had bacteria on the outside of them when their payloads were recovered by NASA. It is thought they went into a "suspended hibernation" type state and when returned to the heat and air came "back to life". Sort of like microbial life found in the permafrost near the polar regions. Take a chunk of permafrost ice, melt it and the microbes inside start moving again.
Reply:Some scientists believe that life on earth began with microbes that could have "hitched a lift" on a comet.
Reply:Bacteria have been found on the lense of one of the cameras tkaen to the moon during the apollo missions; so yes, they can travel through space
Reply:Free-floating bacteria anywhere near the sun (in earth's orbit?) would likely be killed by the sun's radiation, especially a full dose of ultraviolet light. Certain bacteria that need water molecules in their structure would likely dry up in the vacuum of space. Thus, bacterial escaping from earth would likely perish if not protected. This would also likely apply to bacteria arriving from outer space. The sun is a great sterilizing machine (capable of turning human skin red even on an overcast day!).
Reply:NO, they can't survive....they need appropraite enviorment to survive. Can u survive under water or without oxygen? your answer will be NO...in the same way bacteria need appropriate enviorment to survive.
Reply:It seems very possible although the evidence so far coming from man made objects (space probes, etc) has generally been debunked. As far as I am aware (that means I'm likely as not to be wrong here) nobody has ever performed a controlled experiment showing survival of bacteria entering earths atmosphere.





It isn't just bacteria likely to survive the cold and vaccuum though. There was a great experiment with a tardigrade in a scanning electronmicroscope. They evacuated the chamber, took loads of pictures and after opening up the chamber the little champion got up and walked off - thats tough!!


Which bacteria r deadly to humans?

from where do they come from

Which bacteria r deadly to humans?
botulism is about as deadly as you get.





edit. the toxin created by botulism is one of the most powerful toxins known to man. Mostly comes from food poisoning. (Wiki)





But with more resistant baceria becoming prevelent who knows. Luckily most bacteria can be taken care of with antibiotics nowadays, but that could change to where most strains of bacteria have become resistant to drugs to to overuse of antibiotics.

Why food that has had bacteria growing on it can cause food poisoning even when the bacteria have been killed?

killed by cooking

Why food that has had bacteria growing on it can cause food poisoning even when the bacteria have been killed?
You can become intoxicated as in the case of Clostridium botulinum (botulism) or Staphylococcus aureus (caused by Staph. Super Antigens).





I am going to add, however, that those toxins are generally destroyed by cooking. But the theoretical answer to you question is definitely because the bacteria have secreted toxins which make you ill upon consumption.
Reply:who said that?





Cooking is to kill bacteria. Unless you mean like parasites etc. Not cooking well or thoroughly enough doesn't kill them (or kill them all) which causes food poisoning
Reply:Because the bacteria produce toxins as waste products in their growth. Heat can kill the bacteria but won't destroy the toxins. Botulism is a good example of this.
Reply:Bacteria secretes toxins that might survive cooking that kills the bacteria itself.
Reply:if the food has been cooked, then set on a contaminated surface-welcome to the world of food poisoning!! also if it is not cooked thouroughly some bacteria and parasites will form endospores that keep them protected until things are safe again. also, when people handle your cooked food after taking a bit **** and not washing their hands, that can make you sick as well.

Does bacteria and fungi benefit groundwater?

There is no grass in groundwater. Groundwater is several feet under ground in most places. The water table (the top level of groundwater in aquifers) holds water that many towns drill into and pump the water up in wells to use. There isn't a lot of pollutants in the water because the soil cleanses the water on the way down to the groundwater. The only thing that needs to be done to make groundwater drinkable (potable) in most cases is to soften it. But, the bacteria do biodegrade (eat) a lot of the pollutants that do make it to the groundwater from leaks in storage tanks. So bacteria do act as a natural defense to pollutants.

Does bacteria and fungi benefit groundwater?
yes, because it in some wierd way it polinates the water system and makes the grass grow taller and it accually makes the chlorafil stronger.

1. The eukaryotes include ourselves, other animals, plants and fungi and a rich variety of micro-organisms (protists). CAn you answer the question now?





2. Fungi absorb nutrients from living or dead organic matter (plant or animal stuff) that they grow on. They absorb simple, easily dissolved nutrients, such as sugars, through their cell walls. They give off special digestive enzymes to break down complex nutrients into simpler forms that they can absorb.Most fungi can best be described as grazers, but a few are active hunters. Hunter fungi prey on tiny protozoa and worm-like creatures called nematodes. Some produce a sticky substance on their hyphae, which then act like flypaper, trapping passing prey. A species called Arthrobotrys dactyloides sets snares made out of loops formed by its hyphae.


3. The word "mycorrhizae" literally means "fungus-roots" and defines the close mutually beneficial relationship between specialized soil fungi (mycorrhizal fungi) and plant roots.


4. Try Penicillin and that is an antibiotoic produced from fungi!


5. Lichens grow in the leftover spots of the natural world that are too harsh or limited for most other organisms. They are pioneers on bare rock, desert sand, cleared soil , dead wood, animal bones, rusty metal, and living bark. Able to shut down metabolically during periods of unfavorable conditions, they can survive extremes of heat, cold, and drought.

Under no circumstances should you use aqueous ammonia (NH4OH or NH3(aq) ) to neutralize the acid formed in bacterial digestion.

The user who suggested baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) was spot-on. Normally I wouldn't post an answer to a question with such a correct answer, but I had this horrible fear that you might (or someone reading it might) get the idea to drink an ammonia solution, say to negate the effect of carbonic acid on teeth. Stick with your baking soda, please.
Reply:Oh, sodium hydroxide, for example. Or, say, ammonia. Ammonia is available as a household cleaner. Or, I dunno, readily available? Some harmless base. I can't think of any off the top of my head right now. I'll wager there's one in toothpaste.





Say the base you found is represented by BOH, because it has hydroxide in it....


then HA + BOH --%26gt; H2O + BA





Or say it doesn't. Say it's ammonia, for instance, NH3. Then you'd have





HA + NH3 --%26gt; [A]+ + NH4+





Ammonium, as ions go, is probably fairly innocuous. (I said PROBABLY. Don't take my word for it, for God's sake.) This would be, for your edification, an acid-base reaction.
Reply:a) Drink lots of water to dilute and remove the acid.


OR


Use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to convert the acid to harmless chemicals





HA + NaHCO3 --%26gt; NaA + H2O + CO2


Reaction is a neutralization one with decomposition of the weak acid (carbonic acid) that is formed.


Carbonic acid = H2CO3 and will spontaneously breakdown to CO2 and water. A soda (pepsi or coke) are good examples of this decomposition.

A cell of some bacteria divides into two cells every 30 minuntes. The initial population is 5 bacteria?

Hint: The calculation will be easier if you let the unit of time be 20 minutes, so that one hour is (60/30) units of time.





Find the population after t hours


FInd the population after 2 hours .


When will the population reach 10?

A cell of some bacteria divides into two cells every 30 minuntes. The initial population is 5 bacteria?
q1


P(t) = 5*2^(t/(1/2) = 5*2^(2t)





q2


P(2) = 5*2^(2*2) = 5*16 = 80





q3


10 = 5*2^(2t)


2^(2t) = 10/5 = 2^1


2t = 1


t = 1/2 hour = 30 mins
Reply:Let T be a time period in which the population doubles (in this case 30 mins but don’t worry about that right now)


At T = 0 y = 5


At T= 1 y = 5 x 2^1 (= 5 x 2 = 10 as a check for the pattern)


at T = 2 y = 5 x 2^2 (= 5 x 4 = 20)


At T = 3 y = 5 x 2^3 (= 5 x 8 = 40)


So when T = n y = 5 x 2^n


But T = 30t, where t is the time in minutes


So when t = 30 y = 5 x 2^1


when t = 60 y = 5 x 2^2


when t = 90 y = 5 x 2^3


So to find what power of 2 we need, can you see that you take the time and divide it by 30?


So instead of T = 5 x 2^n


you have t = 5 X 2 ^ ……..?








PS to find when the population reaches 10, you takes logs of both sides - that is the only way to get n on its own

Bacteria vs. fungi?

why is a fungal infection more difficult to get rid of than a bacterial infection? what makes fungi so special?

Bacteria vs. fungi?
Bacteria are prokaryotes, while fungi (and humans) are eukaryotes. It is easier to fight a bacterial infection with drugs because their cellular machinery is very different from ours, while the fungal cellular machinery is more closely related. So designing drugs to kill the fungal cells and not the human cells is tougher.
Reply:Resistant spores and hyphae.


Bacteria play a particulary important role in the ____ cycle.?

a)photosynthesis


b)water


c)nitrogen


d)climate

Bacteria play a particulary important role in the ____ cycle.?
C) nitrogen
Reply:Nitrogen cycle. They fix nitrogen in the soil so that plants might use it for food. But note that one-cell organisms in the ocean account for a huge amount of oxygen released into the air that we breath, and without them most animal life on earth would die. Consider "the oxygen cycle" as a potential anwser if this question is ever asked by you again.
Reply:c- nitrogen

Bacteria vaginosis???? sexually transmitted??

does this mean my boyfriend cheated???

Bacteria vaginosis???? sexually transmitted??
Unfortunately, bacterial vaginosis is not completely understood. They are ideas at who is more at risk but even those are pretty vague. The only thing that is known is that there are more bacteria than normal. Please read up from the CDC. I find their info is the most reliable since it is a government health agency

Reply:it could be but then maby not.. but srry to say he probably did because if you two were ative before and this just happend out of the blue i would have a little chit chat with him and maby go ask your doc. and he should know for sure.. hope everything works out and if you need any support just email me and maby i can help!!! :) good luck!!
Reply:No not necessarily. Vaginoses is an overgrowth of bacteria in that particular area. Your body has what is called normal flora and it consists of bacteria, fungi, and parasites that live on your skin. I know this sounds gross but it is what it is. They all are in balance with each other, sometimes one will get out of hand and over grow in a certain area. Like a yeast infection that happens when the fungi grows too quickly and more yeast is present than the bacteria and parasites. It is mostly nothing and all you need to do is go to the DR and get a prescription for an antibiotic to treat this.


I wouldn't suggest you have sex right now and ask your dr about this he/she will explain it better than I can over the PC.
Reply:Hi there,





No, bacterial vaginosis is not transmitted from men to women so that fact that you have it does not mean that he cheated on you per se.





Bacterial vaginosis is a change in the balance of bacteria that are normally present in the vagina, which can cause bothersome symptoms. It is the most common cause of vaginal symptoms in women of childbearing age.





The cause of bacterial vaginosis is poorly understood. But, experts have found a number of risk factors that can lead to a drop in "good" lactobacillus. (These bacteria normally keep "bad" bacteria from overgrowing in the vagina. They are different from dairy lactobacillus.) These risk factors include having multiple sex partners, having a female sex partner, recent or current infection with certain sexually transmitted diseases, douching, and intrauterine device (IUD) use.





Bacterial vaginosis is sometimes linked to hormonal changes; it is more common after menstruation. Nearly 1 in 4 pregnant women are diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis.





Bacterial vaginosis may be passed between women during sexual contact. If you have a female sexual partner, you may benefit from using condoms with or careful washing of shared sex items.





Bacterial vaginosis is not passed between men and women and is not considered a sexually transmitted disease (STD). (But if you are exposed to an STD while you have bacterial vaginosis, you are more likely to be infected by that disease.)





It is always important to practice safe sex to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, whether or not you have bacterial vaginosis. Preventing an STD is easier than treating an infection after it occurs.





Hope this helps clarify things for you.





Cheers.
Reply:I work in a doctors office and NO it is not sexually transmitted.

Bacteria or something on my clothes?

my nice new shirts and pants were sitting in a plastic bag, wet for like a week or something. Finally I have time to wash them, but theres these scary little red stain marks all over my nice new shirt!, and other clothes. How can I get this out, or is this 100% permanent.


Now I know to not leave dirty damp clothes in a bag...

Bacteria or something on my clothes?
This has never happened to me but I would say use clorox stain remover! SPRAY IT, PUT SOAP ON IT,AND WASH AGAIN!!!!! If that doesent work, I would say throw away the shirt!! OR OR OR, you can take the risk of fading clothes and bleach the shirt like crazy!
Reply:Wt clothing usually produces mildew, which should have given you an indication when you reopened the bag. Would suspect the red spots are some kind of mold, perhaps from material itself or from something in the bag.


Take them to a dry cleaner and explain. Let someone else use more powerful cleansers than clorox and market soap.
Reply:It's a mold. The white clothes I suggest soaking in hot soapy bleach water. The colored clothes you could try soaking in hot water with a cup or two of white vinegar..They may be ruined forever...
Reply:There is a red-colored mildew or mold.





Here are instructions for "cotton" clothing ....





"Always follow garment label instructions when pretreating and laundering your clothes. For colored garments, test an inside seam for colorfastness. If the garment is washable, follow the instructions below..."





"Launder stain with Purex detergent, 20 Mule Team Borax, and bleach if recommended for garment. If stain remains, sponge stain with hydrogen peroxide and relaunder. Dry in sunlight. Note: Some badly mildewed fabrics may be damaged beyone repair."





Am sure you can substitute Purex with your own brand of clothes detergent.





Best of luck!

What was the first bacteria and who was the first person to discover it?

bacteria was hypothesized before the actual discovery in the 17th century. The first theory was by Marcus Terentious Varro in a book called "on agriculture"


bacteria was first observed by Anton Van Leeuwenhoek in 1676 by using a single-lens microscope of his own design. He called them "animalcules"

What was the first bacteria and who was the first person to discover it?
Antony van Leeuwenhoek first discovered bacteria





The first bacteria were anaerobic, able to live without oxygen...


Why are so many bacteria found at the bottom of the ocean and sea?

There are many bacteria on the sea floor because they feed on the bodies of dead sea creatures that fall to the ocean floor. Also, the bacteria feed on the chemicals that flow from hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor.

Why are so many bacteria found at the bottom of the ocean and sea?
Because the bottom of the sea is rich in all kinds of minerals and decaying debris. Its the same reason why you find more bacteria in the soil rather than in the air.
Reply:Another reason they are plentiful and other more advanced organisms are not is that they have adapted so that they do not need ogygen to breath, but can use sulfur or nitrogen instead. Deep water is depleted in oxygen.
