“Exploring Monumental Discoveries in Microbiology: A Focus on the Discovery of Antibiotics” For this Discussion Board, I was particularly interested in the discovery of antibiotics as it has had a significant impact on the field of Microbiology and medicine as
Discussion:
The field of Microbiology includes the study of many diverse organisms including: bacteria, algae, yeasts, molds, protozoa, and viruses. We will be studying each of these organisms as we proceed through the course. For this Discussion Board: 1) Access the interesting Infograph on the monumental discoveries over the last 125 years in the field of Microbiology. 2) Choose at least 1 specific topic that you are very interested in and research this topic in a little detail. 3) Post and discuss at least 3 specific supporting details about this topic on the Discussion Board. You must include at least 2 scientific references in proper APA format in your post.
Here are the specific directions for the Module this week:
1) Access the infograph on monumental discoveries in Microbiology over the past 125 years by using the following directions:
To see this in more detail:
Click here
Links to an external site.
View ‘Microbiology Events Infograph’To zoom: click on the infograph image once or twice to enlarge or (depending on your computer) you can right click ‘view image’, then click on the image to enlarge.
2) Choose 1 specific event on the infograph that particularly interests you.
3) Research this specific topic to learn more specific details.
4) On the Discussion Board,
Post why you were particularly interested in this topic and at discuss at least 3 specific details about this topic.
Please include at least 2 references in APA format in your post.
5) Before Sunday night at midnight, please respond to at least 2 of your peers’ posts. When you respond to a post, do not just agree or disagree or simply re-state what was already stated. Instead add some new or different information in order to keep the discussion alive. -

Exploring the Fermentation Process: A Microbial Experiment in Producing Bread, Yogurt, and Cheese
Report on a microbial exoeriment in which vou produce some fermented
foods that you could try to make, including bread, yogurt, cheese
There are man ditterent termented
alcoholic beverages – and a wide vanety of
bacteria and fungi (especially yeasts) are used in their
To earn a cood grade (380% – you mus
least 2 “groups” that will be compared (note: you may just have
ou have at least 1 variable esulting in at
ach of vour “eroups” – or ambitious, you can have replicates). for example, if you are fermenting some type of vegetable in salt water (e.g. kim chi) you could compare 2 different concentrations of salt, or 2 different types of vegetables. If you are making yogurt, you
could compare using 2 different types or amounts of starter culture, or, you could compare 2 different methods of cooling
down your milk+ starter culture mix, or cooling over b hours vs. L2 nours
Your report should follow the typical format of a scientific report with the following sections:
Introduction – in which you discuss the type of fermented food that you will prepare and why it interests you.
Materials and methods: provide enough details so that someone else could replicate your procedure. Results and discussion (these 2 sections are often combined): tell what happened and ADD ORIGINAL PHOTOS THAT
YOU TAKE of your product and/or the process used. Collect data (perhaps at different time points to monitor how it tastes. Try to provide as many observations as possible – note that observations are information that you take in
through your senses (or some instrument that extends your senses (taste, smell, vision, touch, hearing). If applicable, make up a scale to rate sourness / bitterness / saltiness / sweetness / alcohol content, etc. of your product. Record other types of observations: are bubbles produced? Is there a color change? A volume change? For most fermentations you could collect data /observations at different time points. Where possible, put your data into
a table or graph and provide a table or figure legend. Conclusions – briefly summarize your what you have learned from your experiment and comment on future
directions if you would try making your product again. This report should be at least 700 words (excluding a final list of literature cited. 700 words is “2 – 3 pages double. spaced. All reports should contain at least 2 photos inserted into the document (not attached along with it). Each photo
should have a figure legend (for guidelines in making a good figure legend see Ngo, 2020) -

watch the video https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/mcat/cells/eukaryotic-cells/v/characteristics-of-eukaryotic-cells
write a brief summary of what you have learned by watching the video. Your summary should include a list of the cell’s major organelles, as well as the function of each part. -
“Pathogen Profile: A Case Study on the Impact and Management of [insert pathogen name]”
You have to do a slideshow case study with a pathogen profile as well it can at least equal out to 5 pages if possible but I will attach everything you need along with my case study which will be 5d. Please read all directions please

Title: The Rise of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in the United States
Disease Project: You will choose a communicable/contagious disease that is caused by a
microbial agent and has been involved in a recent development in the United States. You
will provide information on the background on the microbe, the disease it causes, and the
recent development concerning the disease in a written report and a subsequent oral
presentation.
Report
Section 1 – Microbe significance: Write approximately ½-1 page of basic background on
this microbe and why it is important (defining characteristics, opportunistic diseases that it
can cause, how it is used in biotechnology or research, etc.).
Section 2 – Disease background: Write approximately ½-1 page on basic background of
the disease that is caused by this microbe and why it is significant (symptoms, treatments,
prevalence, etc.).
Section 3 – New development of disease: Write approximately 1-2 pages explaining a
new development of the disease. Include details on how/why this development occurred,
what are the immediate ramifications, and what is the proposed resolution or future
outlook for this development (recent outbreak, new treatment, increase/decrease in
incidence, etc.).

Introduction to the organism (structure, cell type, morphology, metabolic requirements, natural reservoir, history, etc.)
Introduction to the disease(s) caused by the organism (epidemiology, signs, symptoms, etc.) OR introduction to the environmental impact of the organism
List and describe factors employed by the organism to assist in its growth, reproduction, culture conditions, host/pathogen interactions and/or virulence. (e.g. nitrogen fixation, symbiotic interactions etc.) Categorize virulence factors by mechanisms of action (Immunity Avoidance, Tissue/Cell Lysis, Colonization/Spread)
Discussion of treatment/prevention options for the disease(s) caused by the organism (Antibiotics or other chemotherapeutics given as part of treatment and their mechanisms of action, Vaccines available and type)
APA format. This includes citations and references
