Anaerobic Bacteria types and its cultivation- Aditi Kar.pptxAditiKar6
Anaerobes play an important role in the microbial world. They are classified into different categories based on their oxygen requirement also there are different types of media for their growth. The different types of anaerobes and cultivation media will be discussed in this presentation
This lecture note describes the process of Effluent Treatment (ET). Emphasis is give to the biological aspects of ET. Free to reuse, remix, modify and share for non-commercial and commercial purposes.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, microorganisms capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen (inorganic compounds usable by plants). More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by these organisms, which thus play an important role in the nitrogen cycle.
Two kinds of nitrogen-fixing bacteria are recognized. The first kind, the free-living (nonsymbiotic) bacteria, includes the cyanobacteria (or blue-green algae) Anabaena and Nostoc and genera such as Azotobacter, Beijerinckia, and Clostridium. The second kind comprises the mutualistic (symbiotic) bacteria; examples include Rhizobium, associated with leguminous plants (e.g., various members of the pea family); Frankia, associated with certain dicotyledonous species (actinorhizal plants); and certain Azospirillum species, associated with cereal grasses.
The symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria invade the root hairs of host plants, where they multiply and stimulate formation of root nodules, enlargements of plant cells and bacteria in intimate association. Within the nodules the bacteria convert free nitrogen to ammonia, which the host plant utilizes for its development. To ensure sufficient nodule formation and optimum growth of legumes (e.g., alfalfa, beans, clovers, peas, soybeans), seeds are usually inoculated with commercial cultures of appropriate Rhizobium species, especially in soils poor or lacking in the required bacterium.
This is presentation about classification and nutrition of bacteria. Bacteria are classified depending on various parameters viz. cell wall, temperature, air, salt concentration, Pressure, presence of flagella, pH etc.

Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

2. ANAEROBIC BACTERIA
An anaerobic bacteria or anaerobe is any organism that does not
require oxygen for growth.
It may react negatively or even die if free oxygen is present.
Depending on amount of oxygen tolerated, they are divided in
three types
Obligate Anaerobe
Aero-Tolerant Anaerobes
Facultative Anaerobes
3. ANAEROBIC BACTERIA
Depending on amount of oxygen tolerated, they are divided in
three types
Obligate Anaerobe
These are microorganisms killed by normal atmospheric
concentrations of oxygen (20.95% O2). Oxygen tolerance varies
between species,
Some capable of surviving in up to 8% oxygen, others losing
viability unless the oxygen concentration is less than 0.5%
Aero-Tolerant Anaerobes
Survive in presence of oxygen –
Do not use oxygen for energy requirements but
use fermentation to produce ATP. They do not utilize oxygen,
They can protect themselves from reactive oxygen molecules.
Facultative Anaerobes
A facultative anaerobe is an organism that makes ATP by aerobic
respiration if oxygen is present, but is capable of switching
to fermentation if oxygen is absent.
4. METHODS FOR CULTIVATION OF
ANAEROBIC BACTERIA
Candle Jar Method
Anaerobic Jar Method
Anaerobic Chamber
Vacuum and Gas Displacement Method
Thioglycollate Broth Method
Alkalline – Pyrogallol Method
Brewer Anaerobic Culture Plate Method
5. CANDLE JAR METHOD
In this method, media plates with bacterial inoculum is
kept inside the jar.
Seal the jar with the lit candle inside.
The candle flame will consume most of the oxygen in
the jar and will produce an elevated level of carbon
dioxide.
These conditions are ideal for the growth of anaerobic
and microaerophilic organisms.
7. ANAEROBIC JAR METHOD
In this method, media plates with bacterial inoculum is
kept inside the jar.
The jar contains palladium pellets, that produces
hydrogen inside the jar.
The hydrogen reacts with oxygen present inside the jar
and form water molecules.
This cause reduction in oxygen concentration inside the
jar.
The anaerobic condition can be confirmed by indicator,
methylene blue. Indicator becomes colorless in absence
of oxygen
This condition is ideal for the growth of anaerobic
organisms.
9. ANAEROBIC CHAMBER
Anaerobic chambers, also known as anaerobic glove
boxes, are atmosphere control units designed to be used
when working with oxygen sensitive materials.
The chamber contains the sealed environment of H2,
CO2 or N2.
The media plates are kept in the chamber and then N2 is
purged in =side the chamber
11. VACUUM AND GAS DISPLACEMENT
METHOD
Anaerobic In this method, the air in the chamber is removed
with the help of applying vacuum and is replaced with the
mixture of N2 and CO2,
This provides the good condition for cultivation of strict
anaerobes.
12. THIOGLYCOLLATE BROTH METHOD
Thioglycollate Broth is a
multipurpose, enriched, differential
medium used primarily to determine
the oxyen requirements of
microorganisms.
Sodium thioglycolate in the medium
consumes oxygen and permits the
growth of obligate anaerobes
13. ALKALLINE – PYROGALLOL METHOD
Alkaline solutions of pyrogallol absorb oxygen
efficiently and are used in determining the oxygen
content of gas mixtures
14. BREWER ANAEROBIC CULTURE
PLATE METHOD
Brewer Anaerobic Agar is used for
cultivating anaerobic and
microaerophilic bacteria
Brewer1 described a special Petri
dish cover that allowed surface
growth of anaerobes and
microaerophiles without anaerobic
equipment.
A small amount of air is caught over
the surface of the medium, and the
oxygen in this space reacts with the
reducing agents to form an
anaerobic environment.
