Today we have class at 1.4 on 11 am. We learn about Classification of Organisms.
Taxonomy-Greek Taxis, arrangement of order
                  -nonos,law
                   -nemein to distribute
                  -Science of biological classification
                   -interrelated parts

  • Classification-Arrangement of organism in a group based on similarity
  • identification-process of discovering and recording traits of organisms
  • Nomenclature -Assignment of names to taxonomic in agreement with published rule
Nomenclature

  • define by two names
  • Genus name + species epithet(species)
  • Both name italicized or underline
  • Genus always Capitalized
  • Species lower case
  • Example: Homo sapiens
Rules governing the naming organisms can be find in
For protozoa and parasitic worms : International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.
For fungi and algae: International Code of Botanical Nomenclature
For bacteria : international Code for Nomenclature of Bacteria

                 I never thought that naming a microbes can be very complicated. I thought we can name microbe as soon we found new species or strain ad just get it to register quickly never thought we have to refer different journal for different type of microbe. By learning this I have been able to write the correct name of microbes which before this I just write as other words.

        What I Have Learn:
  • Taxonomy is the science of biological classification
  • Nomenclature defined y two names.
  • A new species is only recognized if published i International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology.

26/9/14  Today we have our class at 8 o'clock early than the usual. We learn about External structure of prokaryote. I  a little bit shock when knowing we going to learn about external structure of prokaryote because we just send our mind map about internal structure of prokaryote. Anyway the class carry on and I have fun learning about external structure of prokaryote.   Prokaryotes are a group of organisms that lack of cell nucleus or any other membrane bound organelle. The two domains in prokaryote are bacteria and archaea. Three basic shapes coccus Arrangement : diplococci, staphylococci, streptococci, tetrads, sarcinae pic from:http://images.books24x7.com/bookimages/id_20695/fig153_01.jpg   Bacillus Arrangement: diplobacilli and streptobacilli   Spiral arrangement:vibrio, spirilium and spirochetes The smallest bacteria is mycoplasma. Vibrio cholera cause cholera which  cause watery diarrhea and vomiting. This bacteria comes from water contaminated by

The second chapter we learn about cell wall and membrane structure of prokaryote. Flagella is long filamentous appendages that propel bacteria. from: http://i0.wp.com/microbeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/flagellar-arrangement-of-bacteria.jpg I wonder if the number and arrangement effect the movement? There are three basic part Filament hook basal body Axial filament are bundles of fibrils that arise at the end of cell beneath the outer sheath.Present in spirochetes group of bacteria What I have learn: Gram negative cell wall have few layer of peptidoglycan Gram positive have teichoic acid. Archaea have pseudomurein

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.
