Why bacteria is grow in labortary if its ubiquitous in nature?
Bacteria can grow in the laboratory because the conditions provided are optimal for their growth, such as a nutrient-rich environment, suitable temperature, and pH levels. In nature, bacteria may face competing organisms or adverse conditions that limit their growth, whereas in the laboratory, these limiting factors are controlled or removed.
What bacteria is used to make biochemichal weapons?
Anthrax is a bacterium that has been used in the past as a biological weapon. It produces toxins that can be lethal when inhaled or ingested. Other bacteria such as Yersinia pestis (plague) and Francisella tularensis (tularemia) have also been associated with bioterrorism.
What is col plasmid?
A plasmid (free bit of DNA) in bacteria that produces colicin to kill other strains of bacteria.
Why is lactic bacteria bad?
Lactic acid bacteria are not inherently "bad." In fact, some strains of lactic acid bacteria are beneficial and commonly used in food fermentation processes, like in yogurt and sauerkraut. However, certain strains of lactic acid bacteria can cause food spoilage if they grow uncontrollably in food products.
Increased resistance in bacteria after repeated exposure to antibiotics is due to?
mutations that allow the bacteria to survive the antibiotic's effects, leading to the selection of resistant bacterial strains. These resistant strains can then replicate and spread, making subsequent infections harder to treat. Additionally, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.
What are the different strains of anthrax?
There are 89 different strains of anthrax. One of the most notable is the Ames strain, which is highly virulent. The Ames strain was the strain used in the 2001 attacks.
Some bacteria strains may acquire resistance to antibiotics and or the ability to cause disease by acquiring what?
Some bacteria strains may acquire resistance to antibiotics and/or cause a new disease by gaining spores from other bacteria.
What is streptim?
Substances elaborated by specific strains of bacteria that are lethal against other strains of the same or related species. They are protein or lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes used in taxonomy studies of bacteria.

Does freezing kill lactobacillus bacteria?
Freezing does not kill Lactobacillus bacteria, but it can make them dormant. When thawed under proper conditions, many can become active again. However, some strains may experience a slight reduction in viability.

What is the Danger of allowing bacteria to grow before being processed by the lab?
Strains that are in the minority at time of sampling, might swamp / kill-and-eat the strains of interest, simply because they grow better in "transit" conditions. Also, you lose any ability to estimate contamination levels at the time of sampling.
What types of anthrax infection are there?
Anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Currently, 89 strains of Bacillus anthracis are known of. Some notable strains are:Ames Strain: Used in 2001 AMERITHRAX letter attacks, originally isolated from a cow in Texas in 1981.Sterne Strain (32F2): Used in 1930s vaccines by Max Sterne.Vollum Strain: weaponized by US, UK, and Iraq, originally isolated in 1935 from a cow in Oxforshire, UK.For more information and more strains, visit the related links.
Tetracycline is used in genetic engineerin experiments as a way to?
Produce stronger strains of bacteria

However, certain strains of lactic acid bacteria can cause food spoilage if they grow uncontrollably in food products.
Why has there been a large increase of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria?
Overuse of traditional antibiotics has caused a selection of those bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotic.
