What the economic important of bacteria​
fgiga [73]
Bacteria play important roles in the global ecosystem.

The ecosystem, both on land and in the water, depends heavily upon the activity of bacteria. The cycling of nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur is completed by their ceaseless labor.

Plants and animals that live in estuaries face a dilemma in maintaining water balance inside their cells. During high tide they
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is - a hypotonic solution as it can pass the cell wall and cell membrane into the cell.

Explanation:

The plant cell has a rigid cell wall that provides support to the plant cell that is not the case in the animals as they lack the cell wall. The low tidewater is an example of the hypotonic solution as it has fewer solutes than the plant cells or animal cells.

When a plant cell is in freshwater it takes up the water with the help of osmosis and begins to swell but the cell wall does not let it burst and become turgid.

Thus, the correct answer is - a hypotonic solution as it can pass the cell wall and cell membrane into the cell.

Why choose that gene for PCR in the bacterial identification lab?
Reika [66]

Answer:

Background

During the course of a bacterial infection, the rapid identification of the causative agent(s) is necessary for the determination of effective treatment options. We have developed a method based on a modified broad-range PCR and an oligonucleotide microarray for the simultaneous detection and identification of 12 bacterial pathogens at the species level. The broad-range PCR primer mixture was designed using conserved regions of the bacterial topoisomerase genes gyrB and parE. The primer design allowed the use of a novel DNA amplification method, which produced labeled, single-stranded DNA suitable for microarray hybridization. The probes on the microarray were designed from the alignments of species- or genus-specific variable regions of the gyrB and parE genes flanked by the primers. We included mecA-specific primers and probes in the same assay to indicate the presence of methicillin resistance in the bacterial species. The feasibility of this assay in routine diagnostic testing was evaluated using 146 blood culture positive and 40 blood culture negative samples.

Explanation:

Results

Comparison of our results with those of a conventional culture-based method revealed a sensitivity of 96% (initial sensitivity of 82%) and specificity of 98%. Furthermore, only one cross-reaction was observed upon investigating 102 culture isolates from 70 untargeted bacteria. The total assay time was only three hours, including the time required for the DNA extraction, PCR and microarray steps in sequence.
