REY [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Morphology

Explanation:

Bacteria are usually identified by using standard molecular biology procedures, being the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) the most widely used technique for this purpose. The identification by PCR consists of the amplification and visualization of specific DNA sequences that can be obtained from different individuals, strains, species, etc. However, it is also possible to identify bacteria with a microscope, i.e., by observing taxonomical characteristics that allow to differentiate specific bacteria.

How do chemical weathering processes differ from mechanical weathering processes?
bogdanovich [222]

The answer is; Physical weathering does not change the composition of the rock while chemical weathering does.

Physical weathering only cracks and breaks the rocks into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering causes a reaction between the rock minerals and acidic rain or organic acids from plants forming different minerals or dissolving the rock minerals.

All of the following statements regarding the pathogens that cause tetanus, anthrax, and botulism are correct except:
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

b. all three pathogens are obligate anaerobes.

Explanation:

Tetanus is caused by an <u>exotoxin</u> produced by the bacterium <em>Clostridium tetani</em>, which is normally f<u>ound in the soil</u>, although it may be present in the intestines of mammals. It is an <u>anoxic and spore-forming bacteria</u>. It enters the body through wounds or deep punctures, finding in the wound the anoxic conditions to germinate its spores, producing its potent toxin.

Anthrax is caused by the bacterium <em>Bacillus anthracis</em>, which is a stationary and <u>endospore-forming </u>bacteria that is resistant to high temperatures and chemicals. It is a <u>strictly aerobic</u> bacterium and can be <u>found naturally in the soil</u>. Both animals and humans can breathe or ingest spores of this bacterium by consuming meat or contaminated water. When spores get into the body, their turn into active cells and <u>produce exotoxins</u>

Botulism is caused by the pathogen <em>Clostridium botulinum</em>, a s<u>trict anaerobic</u> bacillus, producing <u>endospores and 8 different types of toxins</u>. Being a <u>soil-borne bacterium</u>, it usually appears in the food of animal and vegetable origin.
