Methods used in plant microbiology Plant pathology is the study of plant diseases caused by pathogens and environmental conditions. Food loses due to infection caused by microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa etc has become one of the unrelenting effects. Basic culture methods Plate Procedure In this process, the number of microbes present in a mixed sample are calculated and then add this sample on an agar medium and allow it to solidify. Dilute the samples and pour it on
other underlying diseases. It is very important to determine what type of organisms causes these kinds of infections as they can help determine which medicine can be used to cure and prevent future infections. As phlebotomists, we are all aware of microorganisms living all around us. They are too tiny to see without a microscope yet they are abundant on Earth, especially on us. The human body is home to billions of living bacteria, which are capable of causing diseases. Although there are normal flora
It is the use of biological resources, such as plants and microorganisms to produce and process material, chemicals, and energy . An example could be detergent. Industrial biotechnology modifies the actions of enzymes and microorganisms to improve the effectiveness of detergents so clothes can be washed at lower water temperatures . Washing at lower temperatures also results in more power efficiency
The process of adding a gene to a DNA manually into an organism is called transgenic engineering. Farmers have been using this process for decades in agriculture. Although farmers didn’t really know the true knowledge to explain these changes occurring to their crops, they sure did know it was benefiting the market back then thus they continued to experiment on different crops to produce new genetically modified products. With the help of technology scientist figured out what were the reason of these
CHAPTER 2 Review of Literature This chapter describes about biological methods of ammonical nitrogen removal processes from waste waters, their advantages and disadvantages compared to heterotrophic bacterial ammonia removal processes. These methods include both aerobic and anaerobic methods of ammonical nitrogen removal, their drawbacks in view of performance, literature studies on simultaneous heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification, immobilization studies including materials for
ideas. Organic agriculture is not a traditional way of agriculture but it is a farming using scientific knowledge and requires understanding of agro-ecological processes (Ghimiray, 2008). Therefore the lack of access to the knowledge is the major disadvantage to the farmers who practices organic farming but not knowing on how to tackle with challenges. Organic farming is a producing system which is a mixture of traditional, innovations and science to sustain the health of soils, ecosystems and human
Genetic Engineering, Tissue culture, Bioprocess, Bio-informatics, Nanotechnology etc. Any technique that use living organisms as substances from which organisms can be made or modified to obtain product, to improve plants or animals, or to develop microorganisms for specific uses. Biotechnology is the only field which can be applied to any
Problems with filtration Although filtration is a very important process in the purification of the fermentation product obtained, there are certain problems associated with it too. 1. The process of filtration is very slow and time consuming. 2. The process is relatively difficult to be performed. 3. Labor requirement is high. 4. It may result in the contamination of the product with the filter aid and equipment. So to counter that problem, we use other methods for the purification of our product
Brief history of the company/factory. Dr. Minoru Shirota of the Medical Faculty, Kyoto University in Japan strongly believed in the concept of “preventive medicine” (prevention is better than cure), and “healthy intestines lead to long life” (as the intestine is where we absorbed all nutrients needed). Based on that philosophies, he discovered Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain, a special type of good bacteria in 1930. Dr. Shirota search for a strain bacteria that could boost intestinal health and
Open systems are cheap, easy to construct and have high production capacity. However, open systems have several disadvantages including, the uncontrolled environment in and around it, and this result in lower biomass productivity (Singh, 2012). Moreover, open ponds have a higher rates of contamination by other microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and other algae species. PBRs are a stable environment for the growth of many organisms including algae. Moreover, photobioreactors
