Stress Test

Stress Test. The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress. Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly; however, senior citizens and small children see them standing still. None of these images are animated - they are perfectly static. .

  1. Stress Test The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress. Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly; however, senior citizens and small children see them standing still. None of these images are animated - they are perfectly static.

  2. Intro to Microbiology Microbiology 2314

  3. Microbes in our Lives • Microorganisms are Small • Assist in Maintaining an Ecological Balance • Normal Microbiota Exist in Organisms • Important in Food Production • Important in Chemical Production • Can Serve as Pathogens

  4. Types of Microbiology / Bacteriology

  5. Bacilli Bacteria

  6. Mycology

  7. Parasitology / Parasitic Protozoa and Helminths Hookworm and Whipworm Eggs

  8. Amoeba

  9. New Studies • AIDS • Action of Interferons • Development of Vaccines • Healing Ability of Phages • EIDs • Biological Terrorism

  10. Renewed Interest since 9-11 in combating Biological Bio-terrorism

  11. New Techniques • Molecular Biology • Electron Microscopy • Recombinant DNA Technology • Stem Cell Research

  12. Diversity of Microbes / Bacteria • Unicellular • Prokaryotic • Shapes • Cell Wall of Peptidoglycan • Binary Fission • Flagella • Varied Nutrition

  13. Binary Fission of Bacillus

  14. Gram - Bacilli and Gram + Cocci

  15. Fungi • Mushrooms, Molds, Yeasts • Eukaryotic • Usually Multicellular with Yeasts being Unicellular • Decomposers • Organic Absorption

  16. Protozoa • Unicellular • Eukaryotic • Classified by Locomotion • Nutrition is by Absorption and Ingestion

  17. Paramecium

  18. Amoeba

  19. Algae • Unicellular or Multicellular • Photosynthesis • Producers

  20. Kelp Forrest Kelp is a Type of Algae

  21. Viruses • Noncellular • Parasites • Nucleic Acid Core • Protein Coat • Envelope • Nonliving

  22. Multicellular Parasites / Helminthes Flatworms and Roundworms

  23. Microbes and Human Welfare

  24. Decomposition of Organic Matter

  25. Bioremediation of Toxic Wastes

  26. Biological Controls In quarantine tests, potential biological pests are confined in small cages containing test plants sprayed with different microbiological control agents.

  27. Biotechnology The application of biological knowledge and techniques to develop products A potential product from guano microorganisms is an enzyme called chitinase, a protein capable of converting the chitin exoskeleton of insects and crustaceans to simpler sugars. This, in turn, may be used for alcohol fuel production. Another potential use for chitinase producing microorganisms is the biological control of insect and nematode pests.

  28. Genetic Engineering / Gene Therapy Using bacteria of genus Clostridium to selectively penetrate cancer tumors and deliver gene therapy to shrink an kill the tumors. In gene therapy, viruses are used to carry replacements for defective or missing genes into human cells Chest Tumor

  29. Microbes and Human Disease • Normal Microbiota or Flora • Pathogenicity and Susceptibility • Infectious Diseases Invade Hosts • EIDs are Increasing
