The document discusses biodegradation, bioremediation, and bioaugmentation. It defines biodegradation as the breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms. Bioremediation uses microbes to transform contaminants into non-toxic products. It can involve stimulating microbes already in the environment or adding nutrients. Bioaugmentation accelerates processes by adding known active microorganisms. The document outlines several biodegradation processes and gives examples of bioremediation and bioaugmentation.
This document describes the classification of microorganisms into four major groups: protozoa, bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It provides details on the structure and types of bacteria, including that bacteria can be classified based on their morphology, arrangement, and staining characteristics into cocci, rods, vibrios, spirilla, and spirochetes. Key characteristics and examples are given for each group of microorganisms.
This document discusses airborne pathogens and provides information about tuberculosis (TB), SARS, and their transmission. It notes that healthcare workers face greater risk of exposure to airborne pathogens than the general public and outlines recommended precautions like respiratory protection, isolation, and annual TB testing for workers. The document emphasizes the importance of early detection and treatment to control the spread of airborne illnesses like TB and prevent exposure.
Airborne disease can spread when people with certain infections cough, sneeze, or talk, spewing nasal and throat secretions into the air. Some viruses or bacteria take flight and hang in the air or land on other people or surfaces.
When you breathe in airborne pathogenic organisms, they take up residence inside you. You can also pick up germs when you touch a surface that harbors them, and then touch your own eyes, nose, or mouth.
Because these diseases travel in the air, they’re hard to control. Keep reading to learn more about the common types of airborne diseases and what you can do to protect yourself from catching them.
Airborne diseases are spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. Common airborne diseases include the common cold, influenza, chickenpox, mumps, measles, whooping cough, tuberculosis and diphtheria. Symptoms vary but often include coughing, sneezing, fever and fatigue. While most people recover, complications are more likely for those with weak immune systems. Prevention methods include vaccination, avoiding contact with sick individuals, coughing into the elbow and frequent handwashing.
This document discusses sterilization and disinfection methods. It defines sterilization as the process of removing all microorganisms, including spores, while disinfection reduces microorganisms to non-disease causing levels. Physical sterilization methods include heat (dry heat, moist heat like autoclaving), radiation, and filtration. Chemical methods use substances like alcohols, aldehydes, halogens, dyes, phenols, and biguanides. Proper sterilization requires management systems, facilities, equipment, trained staff, and record keeping to be effective.

Microbiology of sewage and sewage treatmentFatimah Tahir
Sewage or wastewater contains water and solids separated from various sources like domestic, industrial, and stormwater runoff. It contains pathogens and organic material. Treatment aims to remove solids, reduce biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and eliminate pathogens through primary, secondary, and sometimes tertiary processes. Primary treatment removes 50% of solids and 25% of BOD through settling. Secondary treatment further reduces BOD through microbial degradation. Sludge from primary treatment is anaerobically digested by microbes to produce methane and reduce pathogens before disposal or reuse. Disinfection with chemicals or UV light is sometimes applied before releasing the treated water.

It highlights the important role of algae and microorganisms in producing oxygen and as part of the ocean's food chain.
Viruses and bacteria are simple yet complex infectious agents.
Viruses can only replicate inside living cells and are obligate intracellular parasites that contain either DNA or RNA. Bacteria were the first life forms on Earth and are prokaryotic cells that can metabolize and reproduce independently. Both viruses and bacteria can cause infections in humans and other organisms.
Viruses are infectious agents that are too small to be seen with a light microscope. They are acellular and obligate intracellular parasites that cannot replicate without invading a host cell. Viruses contain either DNA or RNA and have a protein coat. Some viruses are additionally enclosed in an envelope. The tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) causes characteristic symptoms in infected plants like mosaic patterns, mottling, necrosis, stunting and leaf curling. It is easily transmitted through physical contact and contaminated tools. In infected plants, TMV moves from cell to cell through plasmodesmata using its movement protein.
The document discusses Tetanus (lockjaw), an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Clostridium tetani. Key points:

- Symptoms include lockjaw, risus sardonicus (contraction of facial muscles), and opisthotonus (back arching). Diagnosis is clinical. Treatment focuses on wound debridement, antibiotics, antitoxins, and controlling spasms.
- Tetanus is preventable through active immunization with the tetanus toxoid vaccine
Medical microbiology is the study of microbes like bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites that cause human illness and disease. A medical microbiologist studies the characteristics of pathogens, their transmission, mechanisms of infection and growth. The field primarily focuses on the presence and growth of microbial infections in individuals, their effects on the human body, and treatment methods. Some key areas of study include microbial physiology, genetics, parasitology, virology, immunology and serology.
Endospores are dormant structures produced by certain bacteria, such as Bacillus and Clostridium, that allow them to survive unfavorable environmental conditions. Endospores have a layered structure that makes them highly resistant to heat, radiation, disinfectants and other stresses. When conditions improve, endospores can activate, germinate and grow out into normal vegetative bacterial cells through a process of reactivation. The ability of endospores to survive harsh conditions makes some bacteria dangerous pathogens and able to contaminate areas after being thought sterilized.
This document discusses microorganisms and their roles as both friends and foes. It describes that microorganisms can be unicellular or multicellular, and exist in diverse environments including inside human and animal bodies. There are four main types - bacteria, fungi, algae, and protozoa. While some microorganisms are beneficial in activities like making bread, alcohol, medicines, and increasing soil fertility, others are harmful causing diseases in humans, plants and animals as well as food poisoning. Microorganisms also have roles in sewage treatment and human gut health.

Finally, the document briefly outlines additional applications of spores in energy generation, self-healing concrete, and cancer treatment.
This document discusses different types of microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, algae, and fungi. It describes their key characteristics such as appearance, size, shape, nutrition, reproduction methods, and habitats. Viruses are the smallest and can only reproduce inside host cells. Bacteria are larger and can move using flagella or pili. Protozoa include amoebas and paramecium which use pseudopodia to move and feed. Algae such as euglena are single-celled while spirigyra are multi-cellular and reproduce through conjugation. Fungi lack chlorophyll and feed on dead matter.
Bacteria are microscopic single-celled prokaryotes that can exist as single cells or in chains and clusters. They lack nuclei and other membrane-bound organelles. Bacteria come in a variety of shapes (cocci, bacilli, spirilla, etc.) and arrangements (diplococci, streptococci) and have structures like flagella, pili, and cell walls. The cell wall composition differs between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, determining how they are stained using the Gram staining technique. Bacteria inhabit nearly all environments on Earth.

Microorganisms and their applications in biotechnologyEiman Rana
Microorganisms play an important role in biotechnology. There are three main types of microorganisms - viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Viruses are the smallest and can only replicate inside host cells. Bacteria are single-celled microbes that come in different shapes and sizes. Fungi have thread-like hyphae and cell walls containing chitin. These microorganisms are used in biotechnology applications like fermentation and genetic engineering to produce foods, medicines, and other products.
General Biology - Ultra structure of Prokaryotes - Dr. S. GaneshGanesh Sekaran
Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms that are much smaller than human cells. They come in a variety of shapes including spherical, spiral, and rod-shaped. Bacteria have a cell membrane, cell wall, flagella or pili that help with movement, and genetic material but do not have membrane-bound organelles. While some bacteria cause disease, most are harmless or beneficial to humans through roles like breaking down food and producing vitamins. Bacteria play important roles in industry, medicine, and the environment.
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ in their structural organization. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles and have bacterial chromosomes not associated with histones, while eukaryotic cells have organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts enclosed in membranes. Another key difference is that prokaryotic cells like bacteria are typically smaller than eukaryotic cells and lack internal compartmentalization. However, both cell types share basic chemical and metabolic similarities as living organisms.
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ structurally. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles and have no nucleus, while eukaryotic cells have organelles like mitochondria and a nucleus enclosed in membranes. Both cell types share chemical and metabolic similarities like genetic material, cell membranes, and similar metabolic reactions, but prokaryotes are typically smaller without internal compartments.
The study documents the evolution of microscopy and cell biology over time. Early microscopes used simple lenses to first observe bacteria, blood cells, and other microorganisms. The development of compound microscopes and later electron microscopes enabled the observation of finer cell structures like the nucleus. Key scientists like Hooke, Leeuwenhoek, Schwann, Virchow, and Schleiden contributed major findings and developed the modern cell theory. Their work established that all living things are made of cells, cells come from preexisting cells, and cells are the basic functional units of life. Today electron microscopes allow observation of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structures and organelles in even greater detail.
The document discusses the history and development of microscopy and cell theory. It begins with early microscopes like hand lenses and single lens microscopes used to first observe cells. Today, electron microscopes like SEM and TEM are used. Key contributors included Hooke, who first observed cells, Leeuwenhoek who discovered bacteria and cells, and Schwann and Schleiden who developed the original cell theory. The document then describes plant and animal cell structures like cell walls, chloroplasts and organelles in detail. It explains membrane structure and transport mechanisms. The importance of microscopy in observing cells is also highlighted.
Fungi have typical eukaryotic structures like a cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, vacuoles, and inclusions. The cell wall provides shape and protection, and is composed mainly of chitin. The plasma membrane encloses the protoplast and contains ergosterol. Cytoplasm contains organelles and performs metabolic functions. Fungi can be either unicellular yeasts or multicellular molds that reproduce asexually by spores or sexually.
This document provides information about bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. It defines bacteria as microscopic single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus. Examples provided are Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Pneumococcus. Protozoa are also microscopic single-celled organisms, with examples being Amoeba, Chlorella, and Plasmodium. Viruses are the smallest and can only reproduce inside living cells, with examples of tobacco mosaic virus, influenza virus, and HIV virus mentioned. The document discusses the structures and characteristics of these organisms.
Microbes are tiny living organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye. They include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and algae. Bacteria are single-celled microbes that can be spherical (cocci), rod-shaped (bacilli), or spiral (spirochetes). Bacterial cells contain a cell wall, cytoplasm, DNA, ribosomes, and may have structures like flagella, pili, or a capsule. Flagella and pili help bacteria move and attach to surfaces. Bacteria are classified by their shape, size, and oxygen requirements. The human body contains many beneficial microbes as well as pathogens.
The three main components of plant and animal cells are the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The plasma membrane separates the cell from its environment and is selectively permeable. The cytoplasm contains organelles and dissolved substances. The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and controls cell functions. Both plant and animal cells contain organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, and mitochondria which transport materials, produce proteins, package proteins, break down waste, and produce energy. Animal cells also contain cilia and flagella for movement. Plant cells uniquely contain a cell wall, plastids like chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a central vacuole.
Bacteria are small single-celled organisms. Bacteria are found almost everywhere on Earth and are vital to the planet's ecosystems. Some species can live under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. The human body is full of bacteria, and in fact is estimated to contain more bacterial cells than human cells.
This document provides an overview of microorganisms and bacteria. It discusses that microorganisms are unicellular or multicellular organisms that include bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, and viruses. Bacteria are specifically unicellular prokaryotic organisms that lack membrane-bound organelles. The document describes bacterial cell structure both inside and outside the cell wall, including shapes, flagella, pili, capsules, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleoid, plasmids, and ribosomes. It also discusses endospore formation in certain bacteria.

The document discusses a student project that aims to study the effect of biodegradable material and particulate matter in effluent treatment processes for a particular industry. The project was carried out by 4 students and guided by 2 faculty members. It includes an abstract, introduction, list of materials required, and various design thinking canvases used in the project methodology. The canvases explore empathy mapping, product development, activities-attributes-interactions-objects-users framework, ideation, and mind mapping. The overall goal is to reduce waste in effluent treatment and maximize water reuse.
Furfural is produced through the acid hydrolysis of agricultural byproducts like corncobs, oat, wheat bran, and sawdust. The process involves heating the plant materials with sulfuric acid, which causes cellulose to hydrolyze into xylose and other 5-carbon sugars. These sugars then undergo dehydration to produce furfural along with 3 water molecules. Furfural has industrial uses as a solvent, in tetrahydrofuran production, and as a fungicide or weed killer, but it is also toxic if swallowed or causes skin and eye irritation.

The document defines a contributor as someone who shows concern for others, takes responsibility, prioritizes team success over personal success, and takes pride in their work. It provides examples of contributors such as citizens who keep their city clean, respect elders, and follow traffic rules. A contributor is committed to their role, accepts new challenges, and focuses on the team's success rather than their own. In contrast, a non-contributor is unproductive, avoids new tasks, and only cares about personal accomplishments.
in this section the study of the various classification of the surveying. which based the surveying is classified and how many types of the surveying? all this is presented in this slide.
and that slide how it work?
in this report we discuss about the fermentation process. the advantages of the fermentation and the disadvantages of that process. when it is use full and how it work. etc is consider in this report.
This document discusses chlorine breakpoint in water treatment. It defines chlorine breakpoint as the point where the demand for chlorine has been fully satisfied by the addition of chlorine to water. At this point, the initial free chlorine residual is detected after the chlorine dosage exceeds the demand created by reducing agents, ammonia, and organics in the water. Adding sufficient chlorine to reach the breakpoint has advantages like completely oxidizing organic compounds, ammonia, and other reducing substances; removing color caused by organic matter; destroying bacteria; and preventing algae and weed growth. Reaching the chlorine breakpoint is important for effective water disinfection.
during disaster the how to handling the situation?, what kind of the preparation is taken by the us? is tell something in this presentation. and some new about the framework of the disaster.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

8. APPEARANCE OF VIRUSES
Is the smallest
microorganism
The structure is simple
Viruses consist
(mengandungi) of
strands of nucleic acid
(DNA) which
protected(dilindungi) by
a protein coat
12. CHARACTERISTIC OF VIRUS
Viruses do not make their own food
They obtain (mendapatkan) food from animals,plants
and some bacteria.
So they are PARASITES
(mendapat makanan dr individu lain sehingga membawa keburukan kepada
individu tersebut)
The cell where the viruses are attached (melekat) are
called as host cells…
This cell become the habitat of the viruses
26. Cell wall : maintain structural integrity, protect cell
against osmotic pressure, formed of polymer
glycoseamino peptide,thickness 200 to 300 armstrong
Membrane : very thin skin, thickness not more than 75
Armstrong, semipermiable membrane protect aginst
all components of ecosystem except nutrients,allow
passage of waste products out of the cell without
disturbing cell content
Cytoplasm : internal content of the cell,,colloidal
system containing organic and inorganic solutes,
contains ribosomes,DNA,RNA,enzymes
PILLI : short fibers attached to the cell wall,encourage
DNA transfer
27. Flagellum : capable of rapid motion in liquid, achieved
by thread like fibers called flagella,directly attached to
the cytoplasmic membrane along its length
Capsule : thick layer outside a cell wall,polysaccharide
and ncontinuously produced by the cell,provide
protection to the cell wall
Spore : forming resistance bodies bacteria. Enable to
survive extreme heat, radiation, toxic chemicals or
starvation. “Bacillus” and “clostridium” are most
common spore formers bacteria.
28. Appearance of bacteria
Surrounded with tough cell wall
cell wall …… support and maintain the shape of the cell
Have hundred of hairlike called PILLI
pilli……… enable(membolehkan) bacteria to stick
(melekat) to certain surface (permukaan)
Also have a tail
tail……….. Help them to move
39. HABITAT
AMOEBA
Soil
Fresh water
Ocean
Other organism as
parasites
PARAMESIUM
Fresh water
40. Shape of AMOEBA
Does not have fix shape
Its shapes change when
it moves
Use
PSEUDOPODIA(tempor
ary structure on surface)
which help them to
move
41. SHAPE OF PARAMESIUM
Shape like a slipper
Has a tiny hair called
CILIA
CILIA was used to move
and draw food into its
body.
44. Characteristic of algae
Simple organism that make food
through photosynthesis.
They have chlorophyll but it is not a
plant….
Did algae have roots, stems and leaves?
They didn’t have roots, stems and
leaves..
So, can we classified it as a plant?
45. Algae
Can be UNICELLULAR such as euglena
Or
MULTICELLULAR such as spirogyra
46.
47. Method of reproduction
They reproduce asexually through
BINARY FISSION
SPIRIGYRA reproduce SEXUALLY
through CONJUGATION
48. CONJUGATION
1. TWO individual united by a tube
formed by outgrowths from one
or both of the cells.
2. Genetic materials are passed
through the tube into the other
cell.
