What else can I help you with?
Are most bacteria beneficial pathogenic or anaerobic?
Firstly, pathogenic is not the opposite of anaerobic. The vast majority of bacteria are non-pathogenic, but this doesn't mean they are anaerobic.
Pathogenic bacteria grow best at body temperature?
4.6-7.5
Are most pathogenic bacteria gram-negative?
No, not all pathogenic bacteria are gram-negative. Pathogenic bacteria can be either gram-negative or gram-positive, depending on their cell wall structure. Some common gram-negative pathogenic bacteria include Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Neisseria meningitidis, while some gram-positive pathogenic bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis.
How can bacteria be both pathogenic and non pathogenic?
No. Almost all bacteria are not. There are bacteria everywhere performing essential functions like breaking down dead animals and plants. Bacteria are essential to health helping digest food and preventing pathogenic bacteria from getting out of control.
Bacteria that causes disease are called?
Pathogenic bacteria.
Why is it dangerous to defrost frozen meats at room temperature?
Because pathogenic bacteria love to grow at room temperature.
Is it true that pathogenic bacteria out number helpful bacteria?
Yes, but most are weak and almost harmless.
Can Non pathogenic bacteria change to pathogenic?
yes
Pathogenic bacteria compose approximately 70 percent of all bacteria on earth?
Pathogenic bacteria make up only a small fraction of the overall bacterial population on Earth. Most bacteria are either harmless or beneficial to humans and the environment. Pathogenic bacteria are responsible for causing various types of infections in humans and animals.
Does cooked food remain free from pathogenic bacteria?
Cooking food can kill most pathogenic bacteria, making it safe to eat. However, once cooked food is exposed to the environment or handled improperly, it can become contaminated with pathogenic bacteria. It's essential to follow proper food safety procedures to prevent foodborne illnesses.
What is the difference between pathogenic bacteria and non pathogenic bacteria?
"Pathogen" is something that gives rise to disease or infection. There are bacteria that do not do these things though, such as the culture in yogurt or the E.coli already residing in your stomach.
What was 'transformed' in Griffith's experiment?
In Griffith's experiment, non-pathogenic bacteria were transformed into pathogenic bacteria by being exposed to heat-killed pathogenic bacteria, a process now known as transformation. This led to the discovery of genetic material transfer between bacteria.
