In this article we will discuss about the electron transport system in bacterial photosynthesis. In the phototrophic bacteria, cytochrome a and other type of cytochrome oxidase are not present because photosynthesis takes place under anaerobic conditions and there is no need of interaction with molecular O2. The electron transport system i.e. the mechanism of reduction of NADP to NADPH + [...]
Here is a list of fourteen major diseases that are caused by bacteria: 1. Tetanus 2. Anthrax 3. Tuberculosis 4. Diphtheria 5. Meningitis 6. Pertussis 7. Streptococcal Pneumonia 8. Gonorrhea 9. Syphilis 10. Leprosy 11. Cholera 12. Botulism 13. Shigellosis 14. Typhoid Fever. Disease # 1. Tetanus: Tetanus (Greek tetanos means to stretch) is caused by Clostridium tetani. C. tetani [...]
The following points highlight the major effects of adhesion on bacteria. The effects are: 1. Effect on Bacterial Growth 2. Production of Siderophores 3. Structures Involved in Adhesion of Host Cells. 1. Effect on Bacterial Growth: Growth of uropathogenic strain of E. coli is inhibited after adhesion to uroepithelial cells of human. This effect was adhesion-dependent. It may be demonstrated [...]
