Document Summary
Identified by doing pcr of rna from a swab sample. Importance of microbes: fast, cheap and easy to grow, around 20 minutes to divide, most yeast strains divide in 90 minutes, can produce enzymes and other molecules for industrial/medical uses. Ingested microbes that use oxygen to produce energy became mitochondria: circular chromosomes rather than linear, mitochondrion bacteria, microbes that fix carbon dioxide into organic molecules using light became chloroplasts. Identified causes of anthrax and tuberculosis: alexander fleming, discovered penicillin, jonas salk and albert sabin, developed poliovirus vaccines, lynn margulis, proposed endosymbiotic theory, kary mullis. Invented pcr: carl woese, proposed 3 domains of life, craig venter, published first complete bacterial genome sequence. Rubisco: sulfur globules store sulfur, polyhydroxybutyrate granules store carbon, plasmid (small circular dna that can replicate independently, found in some bacteria, parr, parm, and parc combine during replication to form. Augmentin: when cells lose their cell wall, they lose their shape.
