What chemical is produced by fungi that prevents bacteria from growing?
These substances are called fungicides.
What is the substance produced by molds and bacteria which is of great importance to medicine?
Antibiotics, it was first dicovered in the from of penicillin as they come from the fungi penicillum.
What kind of drugs can kill bacteria?
The types of drugs that can kill bacteria are called 'antibiotics'.
What are two effective uses of bacteria in the pharmaceutical world?
Bacteria are used for making antibiotics, vaccines and medically useful enzymes.
What are the effects of antibiotics on disease-causing bacteria?
Certain types of antibiotics will kill certain types of bacteria.
What is antibiotics produced by?
Antibiotics are chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria and are used to treat bacterial infections. They are produced in nature by soil bacteria and fungi.
What are antibiotics produced from branched bacteria?
streptomycin is produced from streptomyces species which it characterised by filamentous shape
What chemical is produced by fungi that prevents bacteria from growing?
These substances are called fungicides.
Why cant you use antibiotics to kill virus but bacteria can be killed by antibiotics?
Because bacteria and viruses are two completely different things. Antibiotics - as their name implies - will kill bacteria, but antibiotics simply have no effect on viruses.
Which viruses do antibiotics kill?
Antibiotics are the chemicals produced by microorganisms to inhibit the growth of other microorganisms. most of the antibiotics are produced by fungi. Very few are produces by bacteria. For example the antibiotics Monobactum, Bacitracin and Polymixin B are produced by bacteria. They almost all act against other bacteria and not viruses. ( Amphotericin B acts against fungi and is too toxic.) In fact you do not have good drugs against viruses and then you conveniently avoid to talk about it.
Chemical produced by bacteria that limits the growth of other bacteria?
You want to talk about antibiotics. By definition it is the substance produced by microorganisms to inhibit the growth of other microorganisms. Most of such chemicals are produced by fungi. Only few like bacitracin are produced by bacteria.
What is meant by cross resistance in bacteria against two different antibiotics?
when two different antibiotics are taken simultaneously againt multi bacterial infections cross resistance in the bacteria results
Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections because?
Because antibiotics are designed (by nature) to effect bacteria. And bacteria and virsus are two very different things.
How did the study of microbes enable us to develop antibiotics?
Some bacteria, most notably species in the genus Streptomyces and Actinomycetes produce antibiotics as secondary metabolites. Aside from bacteria, some fungi such as Penicillium produce antibiotics as well. Scientists were then able to purify the antibiotics produced from the microbes for clinical purposes.
Why is it important to know which species of bacteria are susceptible to which antibiotics?
If bacteria are susceptible to antibiotics, exposure to antibiotics will lead to the death or weakening of the bacteria.
What is a beta-lactamase?
A beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by certain bacteria, which is responsible for their resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics.
What solution made from bacteria that is used to prevent diseases?
That means you want to know about the antibiotics. By definition the antibiotics are chemical substances produced by one type of micro organisms to inhibit the growth of other types of micro organisms. They can work in high dilution. Most of the antibiotics are produced by the fungi. Only few in clinical practice are produced by the bacteria. Few of them are used to prevent the diseases. Most are used to treat the diseases. By the way, multi drug resistant bacteria is the biggest problem of the day.
