New Geological Era Anthropocene
Human activities have pushed the planet into a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene. In this new era, climate change affects most life on Earth, making it one of the biggest challenges the world is currently facing . Although extensive research has been dedicated to its effects on various ecosystems, these studies usually concentrate on the macroscopic organisms. Less time and effort have been devoted to establishing its effects on microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, even though it…...

H2S BTF Processing Mechanism
Conventional, the main component of a BTFs system including microorganisms community, biofilms, and packing material. The mechanism treatment of H2S by BTFs quite complex, the gas stream through the biofilm where the H2S mass transfer process occurs, and contact between gas phase and liquid phase. Then it is decomposed by microorganisms community (primarily sulfur-oxidizing bacteria), by-products are obtained by settle tank and used in agriculture activities. The microorganisms are cultured by bioreactors then they are transferred into the bed filter…...

Measuring Microbial Activity in Soil
Soil management covers a broad scope of food production and is a well-researched and active field. As much of the global agriculture industry aims to produce more food, there is a constant quest for new information and data. However, the topic of improving soil via increasing healthy microbes is less researched. Lesser still is the more specific topic of using at-home methods to count soil microbes as an indication of soil health in the tropics. According to Englander, Douds &…...

Hidden in Your Home: The Dangerous World of Microorganisms
It is natural for an individual to think that their home is a place of safety, a place where they can sleep peacefully and have little to worry about. What they don’t know is that their home is an ecosystem to many organisms that are not visible to the human eye. These microorganisms can range from being slightly safe organisms like bacteria to being dangerous organisms that can cause you harm such as viruses, fungi, and parasites. There are certain…...

Unknown Bacteria Lab Report
The two streak plates made from the mixture of unknown bacteria showed two different colony morphologies. Colonies of Bacteria A were translucent in color, circular in form, with entire margins and a smooth surface. Colonies of Bacteria B were cream colored, irregular in form, with undulate margins and an ambulate surface. Two different morphologies allowed Gram stains to be performed on each of the bacterium. Gram staining of Bacteria A revealed pink, rod-shaped cells signifying that the bacterium was Gram-negative…...

My Lab partner And I Had The
Unknown bacteria number seven, we have come to the conclusion that this is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. When we conducted out morphology testing, we found a small pink colored rod, which entailed that it was gram negative. We found our specific strain to be non-motile even though it is a motile bacterium. When we grew the pseudomonas on a tryptic soy agar it grew green, this specific color change is what helped us initially come to the conclusion that this was our…...
