Microbe Mission B/C

[The48thYoshi]

Explain the syntrophic model and provide 4 pieces of evidence to support it

Syntrophic model- relationship between the archaea and bacteria created the nucleus-containing eukaryotic cell
1. originated when ancient archaea invaded and lived within bacteria eventually forming the early nucleus Not really sure about the other pieces of evidence or my answer in general :/

Wasn't there some sort of bacterium where they discovered infolding in the membrane similar to a primitive ER or something?

Sorry I haven’t been very active lately.

The syntrophic model proposes that ancient archaea similar to methanogens formed a symbiotic relationship, invading myxobacteria, forming the early nucleus. Some evidence is that archaea and eukarya have similar genes for certain proteins, including histones. In addition, myxobacteria are motile. They can also form multicellular complexes.  Myxobacteria also have kinases and G proteins similar to eukarya.

About that... Hmm... I guess legionella bacteria would work, I was just being a bit specific. I should have listed more symptoms too, sorry Anyways, another question!

1: Define sanitization, sterilization, and disinfection
2: Name the pros and cons of using each

Well, you're partially wrong, because that's not the scientific name. You have the right genus, but your species name is completely off. Your list of symptoms are more comprehensive, though.

Anyways, another question!

1: Define sanitization, sterilization, and disinfection
2: Name the pros and cons of using each

Here... (Click to Show Hidden Text)

1. Sanitization and disinfection both mean killing pathogens on things. The difference between that and sterilization is that sterilization renders 100% of all pathogens dead, including endospores and prions, while disinfection mainly serves to reduce the numbers of pathogens on the thing.
2. Disinfection is generally quick, easy, and cheap, and it generally does not damage tissue or instruments. An example is a povidone iodine wipe, followed by isopropanol. The downside to this is that it doesn't kill everything, and it won't even begin to kill endospores. Sterilization renders things absolutely clean, which is especially useful for things such as surgical instruments, catheters, things of that sort, but the downside is that the methods used are pretty damaging to sensitive instruments. Autoclaving, for example, basically pressure-cooks the object with steam, while other chemical methods involve dipping things into carcinogenic or highly toxic liquids/gases, like formalin, chlorine dioxide, and hydrogen peroxide.

EDIT: is it just me or has formatting been kind of weird lately?

Good! But Though similar, disinfection and sanatization are different things. Disinfection is defined as getting rid of microbes that may cause disease, while santization is reducing these to levels considered safe by public health standards

Still best to use the full name though!

I challenge this (Click to Show Hidden Text)

[spoiler]Disinfection does not always get rid of microbes that cause disease. Like sanitization, disinfection also serves primarily to reduce, not completely eliminate, pathogens.[/spoiler]

I don't think anyone has correctly answered the scientific name yet. (Click to Show Hidden Text)

In my notes, Legionnaire's is caused by multiple species of bacteria in the genus [i]legionella[/i], although it is usually caused by [i]L. Pneumophila[/i]. The best answer would be to say "bacteria in the genus [i]Legionella[/i]."
