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...

Mendel's Experiment and his laws 3

Image
Now in this part we will study : A. Test cross or back cross B. Deviations from Mendelian Ratios-      Genetic Interactions      1. Intragenic interactions          a. Incomplete Dominance          b. Co-Dominance          c. Multiple Alleles      2. Intergenic interactions          a. Pleiotropy          b. Polygenes A. Test cross or back cross    Test cross is a simple method devised my Mendel to verify or test the F1/F2/F3 Hybrids. In test cross F1 hybrid is crossed  with the homozygous recessive plant. Since the offspring is crossed back with one of the parents, it is also back cross. A test cross s a back cross but a back cross is not always a test cross because in test cross we cross the F1 hybrid compulsorily with the recessive parent and in back cross we can choos...

Introduction to Microbes and Classification

Image
Here today we will study which organisms do we have to study in microbiology. Microbiology includes study of all micro-organisms i.e. it includes Bacteria's , Viruses , Fungi , Protozoans and Algae. Some of them are prokaryotic and some of them are Eukaryotic. Now let us see the difference between them- Now let us study each of the type of microbes mentioned above - 1. Bacterias Usually size ranges from 0.2 to 100 micrometres Prokaryotic , unicellular , simple internal structure  Can be grown on artificial laboratory media Reproduction is usually asexual characteristically by simple cell division Significance- Some cause disease , some perform important role in nutrient cycles leading to fertility of soil, Useful in industries for production of compounds, some spoil while so make foods. Examples - Methanococcus , Mycoplasma , etc. 2 . Viruses Acellular and size varies from 0.015 to 0.2 micrometres They all are obligate parasites so need living host...
