Document Summary
Several thousand if not millions the proteins are all throughout the cell: makeup of it is very complex, endospore- protective resting structures bacteria surrounded by durable cell wall. Resistant to extreme conditions: spores can last up to tens of thousands of years, generally bacteria that cannot survive boiling do not create spores, e. coli in uncooked meat. False: antibiotic resistance, most antibiotics are a 10 day period. Microbes: bioremediation- the use of living organisms either naturally or genetically modified to help clean up environmental disasters. If too many microbes are present then it causes a dead zone; where organisms can"t grow because of lack of oxygen: example: oil spill in gulf of mexico. So much oil attracting microbes everywhere but for microbes to eat a huge blob of oil would take years and years. To break up the oil to make it go away faster, is to use a soap (dispersant) which breaks it apart.
