E-Portfolio: Microbiology - Week 13

Hello all!

This week is such a hectic week to begin with. It was really tiring but it really worth and I'm so thankful to be a part of this week. For this week, we learned about Disinfectant and Sanitation, we also learn on Microbial Growth. But the highlight of this week is the Microbes Invention, Innovation and Ideation Challenge where the courses that took part in this program are Microbiology students, Biotechnology students and the Biocellular students. We teamed up to came up various products that use microorganisms for the production. For my team, we chose Chitosan Soluble Pills where we extract chitosan from chitin of the fungus, Rhizopus oryzae. This product is actually used to lengthen the shelf life of agricultural products especially fruits that undergoes ripening in short period of time. The chitosan form a coating for the fruits that lengthen their ripening period and actually consumable. It is also biodegradable and nature-friendly. Here is some photos from our MINIC day. 

This is our board with the poster and prototype of our product.

From this project, I would like to thank Dr. Wan and Dr. Amalia for giving us the chances to make this happen. Thank you also for all the advice and guidance from the start through the end of this project. I would also like to thank my teammates, Anisha, Hamdi, Afiq, Cheng, Hazwa, Amani and Subatra for all the hard works and supportive attitude. Without you guys, we might not done this successfully. 

Also, this week is our last week for this semester's lab session. I would like to show my gratitudes to Dr Adelene, Dr. Fairol, En. Zainuddin and our beloved demos Kak Dura, Kak Athirah, Kak Caru and Abang Jamali. Thank you for all the awesomeness you shared in the labs. Much love, Dodi :).

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....

This week we were given a group task to choose a prokaryote and to make a presentation about the prokaryote. We had chose Serratia marcescens which is  a motile,short rod-shaped, Gram-negative, facultative anaerobe bacterium, classified as an opportunistic pathogen. It was discovered in 1819 by Bartolomeo Bizio in Padua, Italy. Bizio named the genus Serratia in honor of and Italian physicist named Serratia, and chose marcescens for the species name after the Latin word for decay.   S. marcescens was first thought to be harmless (non-pathogenic). Due to its ability to produce red pigmentation, it was first used in 1906 as a marker in order to trace bacterial activity or transmission. It was not until later in the 1950’s that the US government experimented with the S. marcescens and the harmful effects that the bacteria causes were revealed. A study using S. marcescens was carried out to determine the possibility of biological weapons being transmitted by wind current. ...

Assalamualaikum.. Haaaaa.... Apa habaq orang kampungg.. Tudia haa post pertama bagi tahun 2016  Ok, so harini nak share apa yang saya ada belajar tadi dalam masa kurang satu jam tadi bagi subjek AHP2402, Feed Tech So, for today I've learnt about the Characteristics and Nutrient Content of Feedstuffs. These are some synopsis of the things I learnt. Ok, so feedstuffs can be categorized into two categories which is Concentrates and Roughages Concentrates - includes the high energy, low fiber stuffs like grains, oil meals, molasses and dried product. Roughages - includes the high fiber, low energy with lower palatability like hay, staws, silages etc. From these two things, they can be divided into 8 different categories which are, Code Class Description  1 Dry forages and roughages Hay; straw; fodder (aerial part); stover (aerial part without ears, without husks or aerial part without heads); other products with more than 18 percent crude fibre (dry basis...
