What are the characteristics of bacterial spores? What is bacteria and what does it do? Give some examples of bacteria. What makes bacteria different from other organisms? Why is bacteria not classified as a plant? Describe the shapes of different bacteria. ...
What is the difference between spores and seeds? What is gynecomastia? What are the different types of cancer? How are they distinguished? What is the purpose of a vaccine? Should the HPV vaccination be mandatory for school age girls? Explain. Why are skin tags potentially dangerous to remove...
Disinfection does not necessarily kill all microorganisms, especially resistant bacterial spores; it is less effective than sterilization, which is an extreme physical or chemical process that kills all types of life. Detergent A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleansing ...
Intestinal colonization:This is a very rare kind of botulism that can occur if bacterial spores get into an adult’s intestines and produce toxin (similar to infant botulism). This only occurs in individuals with disrupted intestinal bacterial flora because of specific medical conditions. ...
Disinfection does not necessarily kill all microorganisms, especially resistant bacterial spores; it is less effective than sterilization, which is an extreme physical or chemical process that kills all types of life. Antiseptic Capable of preventing infection by inhibiting the growth of infectious agents...
Antibioticsare, in some cases, used as prophylactic treatment against bacterial infection. The ciprofloxacin used to ward off potential infection by anthrax spores in 2001 is an extreme example of this. Prophylactic use of antibiotics can be very risky, however, as it can lead to a much higher...
You can buy rubbing alcohol with a concentration of 70% or 99% isopropyl alcohol. Even though you may think the higher concentration is more effective, experts say 70% is actually better for disinfecting. It has more water, which helps it to dissolve more slowly, penetrate cells, and killba...
What is spore suspension? Spore suspensions arecalibrated suspensions of bacterial spores appropriatefor direct inoculation of products or preparing custom biological indicators for monitoring Steam, Ethylene Oxide (EtO), Dry Heat, Hydrogen Peroxide, Radiation and other industrial sterilization processes. ...
Explain the importance of bacterial dormancy. What is the advantage of soaking seeds in a gibberellin solution in cold climates? What is etiolation in plants? Give the significance of the process during the growth of plants? Explain the purpose of the enclosed seeds in a fruit found on a flow...
Bacterial fermentation involves incorporating helpful bacteria into foods. The bacteria make lactic acid or ethanol. This contributes to the texture, taste, water activity, and the pH of the fermented food. Bacteria become dormant when there is no more water, or food substrate left in the food....
