So no one has had questions that ask the microbial origin of the nucleus??

Re: Microbe Mission B/C
What are the differences between an image produced from a dry mount vs. a wet mount?
Also, when would you want to use a compound vs. stereo light microscope?

Re: Microbe Mission B/C
I don't remember exactly what it was called, but I know it had something to do with putting antibiotics on cultures of bacteria without contamination to observe the effects. I didn't actually see the device in question, but I did see a picture of a similar device when we took the test at home.frogzorz wrote:To anyone and everyone who competed in Microbes at Solon, does ANYONE know what the device was at station 1? You know, that thing with the holes in it and the various tubes and such? I was pushing that button on the top for like 30 seconds.But, seriously, we had no idea what it was, so I just wrote that it was a centrifuge and it separated the microbial cultures from the sample....and I'm 99% sure that's incorrect. So, if anyone can tell me what it was, I'd be eternally grateful.
Also, using microscopes is fairly common- it is actually considered preferable to finding a picture of the microbe in question. The only unfortunate thing is how careful you have to be when observing the slide not to bump it at all. Also, it can be a pain in the neck when the samples are still alive and swimming around.
I am the one called "TARDIS Hat Girl," and am known as such by all.

I don't think the nucleus even has a microbial origin...
What disease did cured ham actually have?
If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...Does that mean the fifth one enjoys it?
I used to be healthy, until I took an arrow to the knee and got gangrene.

Re: Microbe Mission B/C
Actually it does. It has the most proposed theories too. The most commonly accepted one is the syntrophic model.

What's that? I've never heard of it before.

Re: Microbe Mission B/C
It's the model that hypothesizes that an endosymbiotic relationship between an Archaea and a bacteria created the eykaryotic cell. It is supported by the fact that archaea and eukarya have similar genes for proteins and possess kinases and G proteins similar to eukaryotic cells.

Re: Microbe Mission B/C
What kind of resource are you currently using? I bought Brock's Biology of Microorganisms (13 e/d) and had been studied with it. Is reading college-level microbiology textbook is necessary to win all the way up to the national level (assuming the school proceeds to the national level)?
Can you tell me any online website that you are using to study Microbe Mission?
