E-Portfolio BMY3101 - Week 1

Assalamualaikum people.

 13th September 2017 - My very first MICROBIOLOGY class with Dr. Wan Zuhainis

Honestly, Microbiology is not really what I would like to have for my degree studies, Veterinary Medicine is always my first choice. But, I was not chosen to be in DVM neither in UPM nor UMK. It broke my heart. I feel like I am not good enough to study medicine. I belittle myself.

However, I think I just fell in love with this course. I feel accepted. All the people are so bright and friendly from the very first day I'm here. Alhamdulillah, now I feel like 'It is OK not to be a Doctor, I can be a Scientist which is fun as well". Plus, my PA is Prof. Dr. Datin Paduka Khadijah a.k.a Prof Khaty whose really inspired me a lot on her achievements and what not.

For my first microbiology class, I learn about basic microorganisms. Their classifications, the characteristics, short history of microbiology and also on how their names mean something.

I hope and I pray that I can finish my degree study in microbiology with flying colors. That is all for my first post for 2017. Thank you!


Here is a photo of me and my friends from K15 and K14 from the MTB night.

E-Portfolio: Microbiology - Week 7

What is up, people! This week, we learned on internal structure and its function of a prokaryote with Dr. Wan Courtesy: https://www.shmoop.com/biology-cells/prokaryotic-cells.html I am actually quiet interested with plasmid, a small structure, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids naturally exist in bacterial cells, and they also occur in some eukaryotes. Often, the genes carried in plasmids provide bacteria with genetic advantages, such as antibiotic resistance. Plasmids have a wide range of lengths, from roughly one thousand DNA base pairs to hundreds of thousands of base pairs. When a bacterium divides, all of the plasmids contained within the cell are copied such that each daughter cell receives a copy of each plasmid. Bacteria can also transfer plasmids to one another through a process called conjugation using sex pili. For our experiment this week, we had done Gram staining and Acid-fast staining.

Hello all! How are you guys doing ? So, this week we had learnt something new that happens to be in the branches of Microbial Genetics. As we all know, Microbial Genetics can be separated into several category that includes replication, transcription, translation and recombinant. This week, we learnt more on replication and transcription from Dr Suriana.  Basically,  DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. The replication process relies on the fact that each strand of DNA can serve as a template for duplication. DNA replication initiates at specific points, called origins, where the DNA double helix is unwound. A short segment of RNA, called a primer, is then synthesized and acts as a starting point for new DNA synthesis. An enzyme
