What types of organisms does bacteriophage attack?

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. They do not infect human cells or other eukaryotic organisms. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting particular bacterial species or strains.


Why are gram negative eubacteria usually much easier to disrupt by sonic oscillation than gram positive eubacteria?

Gram-negative eubacteria have a thinner peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall compared to gram-positive eubacteria. This makes them more susceptible to disruption by sonic oscillation, as the thinner cell wall offers less structural support and protection. Additionally, gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane that can be disrupted more easily than the thick peptidoglycan layer of gram-positive bacteria.


When was biotechnology created and why?

Agriculture and animal domestication are rudimentary examples of biotechnology. This first occurred near the Indus River Valley around 10,000 years ago. There may have been other areas around the world where agriculture was first practiced about this time as well. The reason was to create a reliable source of food. A more recent example was the Mayan improvements to zea maize (corn), some time around a thousand years ago. In more modern times we have expanded our biotechnology capabilities, tinkering with the genome of life. Much of that has to do with improving crops. Frost resistant strawberries, tomatoes with a longer shelf life, golden rice for preventing blindness, drought tolerant crops, cattle immune to mad cow disease, Bt corn and soy beans with their own built in pest resistance, and so on. Some of the biotechnology we have developed will help cure disease.

Which is not a reason that scientists use bacterial DNA rather than human DNA in biotechnology?

One reason why scientists may use bacterial DNA over human DNA in biotechnology is because bacterial DNA is often easier and cheaper to manipulate and study given its simpler structure compared to human DNA.

Why can bacteria infect your cells but you cant infect the bacteria?

Part of the reason is the difference in size. Another is that we consume bacteria but not actually infect them. It is a matter of terminology.
