E-Portfolio: Microbiology - Week 14

Assalam and hi.

So, this week is our last week for this semester. We learned about Microbial Growth, Microbial Metabolism and the Nutritional Requirement of the microbes. This week also, we had our 3 Minute Talk (3MT) session for our Adopt A Microbe programme. Basically, everyone need to talk about what they know or they learn or they understand on their chosen microorganisms, For me, I chose Paenibacillus vortex. P. vortex is actually a very useful bacteria especially for plants. They are a part of rhizosphere community that live with the plant and help fighting the plant pathogens. They have wide range of antimicrobial properties that can use to make antibiotics in order to kill other species of bacteria. So, here is my poster/slide of the talk. 


 At the end of our class, we had a small feast as Dr Wan bought us cakes and beverages. The chocolate cake was so goooooood! We took pictures together with Dr Wan. It was a good ending for this semester. Thank you all!

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
