My name is Sajidah.Currently study in major of microbiology in UPM.Microbiology is y first choice for degree I hope to be the unusual microbiologist.Hope to learn more about microbes.

21/11/14  We have our class today with Dr Wan at 2.2 Biotech 2.We learn about virus.Virus is not living organism until take over host.Virus is major causes of disease.  Acellular Agents Viruses-protein and nucleic acid Viroids-only RNA Satellites-only nucleic acid Prions-protein only Example of disease cause by Prion is Kuru. Kuru occured in Papua New Guinea because of tradition to eat dead family member brain. Most virus is in hydrosphere Mostly in marine and sea. The virus can be grow in embryonated egg. pic from: http://www.virology.ws/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/viruses_in_eggs.jpg Virus is important in evolution.One of the evolution of virus is ebola virus.During 2008 the host is monkey but now the host is bat. Bacteriophages,bacterial virus kill only bad bacteria. It kill pathogenic bacteria in poultry. Before this I thought that virus only cause disease but now I know that virus also can also kill bad bacteria.ow I also k...

relate Microbial Ecology to other microbiology courses have covered and apply the knowledge in the future

 In previous subject I learn  their characteristics and uses. When I am studying Microbial ecology I get to know more about the place that I learn their characteristics  and uses. I also study lab of microbiology with the knowledge from both course I should be able to know how to find and isolate microbes. Different microbes stay in different places. Different microbes require different way to isolate them. For the future application, I think to solve a problems using microbes, the microbes that will solve the problems need to be find in the problems occur. For example, bacteria that involve in bio remediation usually live and isolated in polluted area since there are able to withstands the pollutants.

9/12/14  We continue learning about microbial metabolism.   Cellular respiration is process cells use to convert  E in chemical bonds of nutrients to ATP E. Aerobic respiration -involves an electron transport system -final electron acceptor is oxygen gas. -total theoretical maximum number atp generated perglucose in prokaryote is 38.In eukaryotr is 36-38.This different from prokaryote because depending on how 2NADH generated in cytoplasm during glycolysis enter mitochondria resulting 2 or 3 atp per NADH but in prokaryote there are no mitochondria 38 can be produce. metabolic pathways- I hope I can know what species of eukaryote will produce  36 atp and 37,38.Before this I only think that plant hae specific respiration but now microbe also have respiration process that some steps similar to plants. Carbon fixation -light dependent reaction consumes atp most commo pathway is Calvin cycle. The other name for carbon cycle is  Calvin-Benson C...
