Microorganisms have been described as the most chemically diverse, the most adaptable, and the most ubiquitous organisms on Earth. What other "most" descriptions could be added to this list?

Because elemental poisons, such as heavy metals, cannot be furtherdegraded even by microbes, what is a possible fate of these metals?

How is human activity influencing how microorganisms interact in their natural environment? Provide 3 examples.

What classification systems do we us to classify microorganisms? What are the strengths and weaknesses to the approaches, and why are they strengths/weaknesses?

In what ways do we classify microorganisms?

write a brief summary on the KPC bacteria, What clinical significance does this organism have for humans? (What disease/infections does it cause in humans?) What is the mode of transmission to humans? (How do you get an infection with this organism?) What is the worldwide geographic distribution for this organism? (Where is it found, have there been any reported cases or outbreaks lately?)

In a series of infection experiments, a researcher discovers that the ID50 value for the infectious bacterium Parasiticum mucoides is 2,000, and that the ID50 for another infectious bacterium, Donoteatum thisbacterium, is 150.  Given these data, a person exposed to 1,000 bacteria of each type would be more likely to be infected by which bacterium? There is no way to know given the information provided Both infections are equally likely Donoteatum thisbacterium Parasiticum mucoides

All of the following are true of antibodies EXCEPT: Each individual antibody molecule is specific for more than one type of antigen They are made of proteins They are also called immunoglobulins They are produced in response to antigens They are produced by plasma cells

go to the website https://www.nature.com/immersive/d42859-019-00041-z/index.html and scroll up and down to review the milestones associated with microbiota research.  Answer the questions/ prompts below.  Bacteria and our brain?  Read the information associated with this milestone and what was discovered.  Briefly describe what they found...Milestone/year?  What milestone is associated with the debate about when the microbiome is first established?  Why is there a debate? Watch the video just below the milestone. What specific type of gene analysis was used to determine that we have our own unique microbiome? Which milestone/year?  Sometimes we need antibiotics...this milestone discusses how long it can affect us after infection.  In this milestone they discussed how long we could be affected by one course of antibiotics...how long?  Which milestone/year?  Find the milestone associated with a highly motile bacteria.  What disease was treated?  How was this treatment used for a…

In 1928, British bacteriologist Alexander Fleming made an accidental discovery. He noticed that a fungus had contaminated one of the agar plates he had streaked with a bacterial species to be studied. The fungus prevented the bacteria from growing in the immediate area surrounding the fungus. Upon further investigation, Fleming found that the fungus produced a substance that was the agent responsible for killing the bacteria. He called this substance penicillin. Given this information, which statement best explains why Fleming's discovery is relevant to the general public today? O Fleming's attention to detail diverted his efforts to investigate bacteria and likely robbed humanity of important discoveries that he would have otherwise made. Fleming's sloppiness in the lab serves as a reminder to all researchers that sterile technique is critical to preventing unwanted fungal growth on bacterial plates. Fleming's discovery enabled the development of chemical substances as antibiotics to…
