E-Portfolio BMY3101 - Week 2
20th September 2017
For this week, I continue to learn about the Introduction to Microbiology.
I learn on how to differentiate the characteristics of bacteria, archaea, algae, virus and fungi. I also manage to know on several new terms for microbes like :
extremophiles - organisms that can survive extreme condition
methanogens - organisms that produce methane
halophiles - organisms that need salt to survive
thermoacidophiles - organisms that prefer high temperature with high acidity condition
Fun facts : Deinocoocus radiodurans is an extremophilic bacterium, one of the most radiation-resistant organisms known. It can survive cold, dehydration, vacuum, and acid, and is therefore known as a polyextremophile and has been listed as the world's toughest bacterium in The Guinness World Record
I also learn about brief history on how Father of Microbiology discovered 'animalcules' using his handcrafted microscope
