Bacteria

A bacterium grows best between the temperatures of 41°F and 135°F. Also, they require water to grow, so moist places harbor a large amount of bacteria. Dim and dark places also harbor lots of bacteria.

Bacteria do not have respiratory systems like humans and do not "breathe" in the same way. They can survive in environments with varying levels of oxygen, and some bacteria are adapted to live in low-oxygen or even oxygen-free environments. So, bacteria cannot suffocate in the same way that animals can.

Gonorrhea and chlamydia may cause mild or unnoticed discharge in men and women.

It is important for a physician to know the exact identity of the bacteria in an infection because they need to know which antibiotic to give. If the patient is given the wrong medication, then the bacteria may become immune or the antibiotics might kill the 'good' bacteria.

I started to notice a stagnant water order smell coming form my back basement wall at the floor where my water proofing trench was made & also the sump pit. So I did some research on what I could do to clean it out and kill the odor. First I cleaned the sump pit out with simple green and a toilet scrubber. And flushed it out clean 4 times. Then I read some where on odor killer and bacteria killer that TSP works well mixed with bleach. So I followed the instructions on the mold & mildew section on how to correctly mix the water bleach and TSP. I used 3qts of water 1 cup of TSP & 1qt of bleach mixed in my garden sprayer. Went down stairs and started spraying the bottom of the wall so the solution would drain into the opened back system of the water proof system and also any areas of the wall that looked like it had a mold growth starting. Well two hours later the smell was completely gone. I am writing this the same day I did this so I will see what happens in a few days to see if the smell comes back. I also ran a ozone machine for 12hrs to clean the air down there. Trust me it smelled like poop.

Bacteria can survive harsh conditions by forming protective spores, altering their metabolism to slow down or go dormant, and producing protective compounds or enzymes to combat stressors like extreme temperatures or lack of nutrients. Additionally, some bacteria can form biofilms to create a communal protective shield against external threats.

Bacteria and viruses can be spread through similar methods such as sneezing, coughing, or touching contaminated surfaces. However, viruses typically require a host cell to replicate, while bacteria can multiply on their own. Antibiotics are effective against bacteria but not viruses.

The three bacterial illnesses are tuberculosis, streptococcal infections, and salmonellosis.

Barry Marshall and Robin Warren were the scientists who discovered Helicobacter pylori in 1982. Their groundbreaking discovery challenged the existing belief that stomach ulcers were primarily caused by stress and spicy foods, revolutionizing the understanding and treatment of gastritis and peptic ulcers.

No, bacteria typically reproduce through binary fission, where one cell divides into two identical cells. They do not need a host cell to manufacture duplicates of themselves like viruses do.

SOD converts the dangerous superoxide radical to hydrogen peroxide, which catalase converts to harmless water and oxygen. Catalases are some of the most efficient enzymes found in cells; each catalase molecule can convert millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules every second.

Lipopolysaccharides, peptidoglycans, flagellin, and other bacterial proteins can serve as antigens in bacterial cells, triggering an immune response in the host organism. These antigens are recognized by the host immune system, leading to the production of antibodies and immune responses to fight off the bacterial infection.

Erythromycin is effective against Staphylococcus epidermidis because it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the bacterial ribosome, preventing the addition of amino acids to the growing peptide chain. This disrupts bacterial growth and reproduction, leading to the death of the bacteria.

One major difference is that domain Eukarya includes organisms with membrane-bound organelles, such as a nucleus and mitochondria, while domains Bacteria and Archaea do not have these organelles. Eukaryotes also have linear chromosomes, while Bacteria and Archaea typically have circular chromosomes.

High salt concentrations can inhibit the growth of some gram positive bacteria by causing water to move out of bacterial cells through osmosis, leading to dehydration and cell death. However, some gram positive bacteria are halotolerant or halophilic, meaning they can tolerate or even thrive in high salt environments due to special adaptations that help them maintain cell structure and function under these conditions.

Osmotolerant bacteria are microorganisms capable of surviving in environments with high osmotic pressure, such as high-salt or sugar concentrations. They have adaptations that allow them to balance the osmotic pressure across their membranes to prevent dehydration or cell rupture. These bacteria are often found in habitats like brine pools, fermented foods, and the human gut.

The bacteria that meets this description is a plasmid. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that replicate independently from the bacterial chromosome. They can carry additional genetic information and can be transferred between bacterial cells.

Both humans and bacteria need folic acid to grow. While folic acid can cross the membrane of a human cell and enter the cell, it cannot cross the cell wall of bacteria, according to Charles Ophardt, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of the Department of Chemistry at Elmhurst College in the "Virtual Chembook." Thus, bacteria have to make their own folic acid. They will then use the folic acid to make DNA, RNA and methionine. Methionine is an amino acid that is used to make various substances like cysteine, another amino acid, and S-adenosyl methionine, a substance used in many biochemical reactions.

A gram variable bacteria is a type of bacterium that does not consistently stain as either gram-positive or gram-negative. This variability can make it challenging to identify using traditional Gram staining techniques.

This a great website with information about Clostridium Tetani - http://www.lcusd.net/lchs/mewoldsen/tetanus.htm Some of the main points include: They can multiply and produce a toxin that effects the nerves and controls the activity of muscles. Lockjaw occurs and is followed by general rigidity of the body, then muscle spasms occur throughout the body. Finally, death is caused by interference with muscles required for breathing. A much safer route would be to just get vaccinated. Alot of states offer free shots, so call around and find out where they are near you.

no it does not, only living organisms that are vetebrates have blood

keep foods in a cool and dry place such as a fridge or freezer, make sure you always cover them up so that insects such as flies cant get to them and never use the same utensils for other foods without washing them first.....

A "water boiling alert" means to boil water. At 1 ATM of pressure, water does not boil until 212°F (100°C). At a higher altitude, the boiling point is lower, but not by much. No, when there is a "water boiling alert," boil the water.

Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illnesses, rather than a bacteria. It is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contaminated food or water. It is estimated to be responsible for more cases of foodborne illness than any other pathogen.
