produces a limited or no amount of waste and pollutant*. The next portion of this research deals with taking this sugar and converting it into butanol fuel via fermentation. This will be done by genetically modifying the metabolic pathways of‚ Clostridium beijerinckii‚ to convert the glucose (sugar) into high yields butanol fuel. The objective here is to perform gene deletion in an attempt to direct the metabolic pathways of the microbe in such a way where it will produce the highest yield of butanol

treat a serious bacterial infection; Clostridium difficile. Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that causes infectious diarrhea which can lead to inflammation of the colon (Day‚ 2016). It is a life threatening infection. The article does not state how a fecal transplant is performed but Zimmer does state that as a part of their research‚ scientists took spores from healthy feces and put them inside pills to give to patients who were infected with Clostridium difficile. The pills were given to thirty

Title: Staining Introduction: Microorganisms are small and colorless‚ invisible to unaided eyes. When observing them under microscopes‚ we use various methods to make microbes apparent. One of the most important methods is staining. Staining techniques play an essential role in the studying of microorganisms; they help to reveal characteristics of microbes‚ such as their morphologies‚ sizes‚ arrangements‚ chemical components and many more. The purposes of the experiments are to be

Cellulose from the paper into glucose and that would be a trigger for the bacteria (Clostridium) to take in the glucose and partially break it down by fermentation to gain energy and to produce ethanol and organic acids as by-products. The by-products from Clostridium feed into other bacteria nearby in the deep mud of the column. Desulfovibrio

Communicable Disease: Communicable diseases‚ also known as infectious diseases or transmissible diseases‚ are illnesses that result from the infection‚ presence and growth of pathogenic (capable of causing disease) biologic agents in an individual human or other animal host. Infections may range in severity from asymptomatic (without symptoms) to severe and fatal. The term infection does not have the same meaning as infectious disease because some infections do not cause illness in a host. Disease

1.CANCER Cancer /ˈkænsər/‚ known medically as a malignant neoplasm‚ is a broad group of diseases involving unregulated cell growth. In cancer‚ cellsdivide and grow uncontrollably‚ forming malignant tumors‚ and invading nearby parts of the body. The cancer may also spread to more distant parts of the body through the lymphatic system or bloodstream. Not all tumors are cancerous; benign tumors do not invade neighboring tissues and do not spread throughout
