History of Microbiology 1

Image
We will learn the history of Microbiology today... Let us start with the Pre-Golden Era. Pre-Golden Era-  Period before 1865 Experienced slow accumulation of some facts about bacteria's Theory of Abiogenesis Previously it was considered that living organisms or creatures arise from non-living matter. This belief is referred to as theory of spontaneous generation or Abiogenesis. Frogs, flies and mice were believed to have originated spontaneously from soil, fertile mud , decaying living organisms, etc. Aristotle was in support of this theory of abiogenesis. Virgil and helmont were also in the favor of the same. Discovery of Microscope Robert Bacon was the first who described lens for the first time. Hans and Janssen produced a first microscope of crude type. Gallielo Galleilee had also made a microscope with a focusing device. Fabri gave the name 'Microscope'. Discovery of Microbial Life Robert hooke had observed cells in the cork of a stem...

Stem Cell Types

Image
Types of stem cells Totipotent : It is a stem cell which can produce total types or all types of other cell lineages is called totipotent or total potent cells. Eg: zygote and first 4-8 cells after cleavage.  Pluripotent: A stem cell which can produce all cells of embryo but not extraembryonic layers in mammals is called as pluripotent cell. Eg: cells forming inner cell mass (ICM) in mammalian development, blastocyst.  Multipotent: A stem cell retain in specific tissue of body and can only be differentiated in all type cell belonging to that tissue only. Eg: stem cell retain in adult Brains  Oligopotent: Oligopotent stem cell can self renew and differentiated in to the closely related cell type . Eg: Hematopoietic stem cell  Unipotent: Uni means one (itself) . unipotent stem cell has lowest differential potential than other types of stem cells. They are mostly found in adult tissue. Eg: muscle stem cell.  Sources of stem cells Embryonic Stem Cells ...

Cyanobacteria

Now we will study the Cyanobacteria.... CYANOBACTERIA These are blue-green bacterias  photosynthetic , mostly photolysis mediated oxygen evolveing prokaryotes Come among the oldest organisms Thallus ranges from unicellular , colonial to filamentous, multiseriate branched filamentous condition Their distinguishing characters are- Grow on diverse habitats for they have dual-capacity of oxygenic as well as facultatively anoxygenic photosynthesis. possess various morphologically distinctive structures like akinetes and heterocyst. cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan cyanobacterial cytoplasm is covered extensively by flattened vesicular structures called thylakoids or lamellae which are the photosynthetic sites Pigments present are-Chlorophyll-a , Beta-carotene , phycobiliproteins (which include phycocyanin , allophycocyanin , phycoerythrin and allophycocyanin B) . Some are motile and some show gliding movement when not having flagella. Ultrastructure of cyanob...
