  1. BACTERIA AND THEIR SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP Dan, Raza, Yuhui

  2. Bioluminescent Bacteria Genera Vibrio and photomicrobium Bacteria that look like curved rods about 1 to 3 microns long They have symbiotic relationships with flashlight fish, angler fish and bobtail squid Use oxygen to produce light (FMNH2 + O2 + RCHO FMN +RCOOH + H2O + Light) Enzyme luciferase Bacteria light production controlled by Lux operon

  3. Methanogen Archaea Uses hydrogen gas to reduce carbon dioxide to methane (chemoautotroph) Obligate Anerobe Swamps, marshes, animal guts Some are extremophiles

  4. Ruminant Even-toed hoofed mammalian herbivore Have a digestive chamber called the rumen which contains microbes that break down cellulose (Ex: Methanogen) 15-20% global production of methane

  6. Used to help degraded ecosystems and environments  A strategy of restoration ecology with the use of living organisms such as: prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to detoxify environments Genetic engineering is also used along side nutrient supplementation to maximize growth  Augmenting ecosystem Bioremediation Deincoccus radiodurans

  7.  Examples of Places that Need Bioremediation
