Virtual Microbes 3 Reflective Journal

For Virtual Microbes third year student of UPM combine with final year student of UKM were asked to do case study based on description virus given. We have to record three progress meeting video by using Zoom or Vsee. My friends and I were introduced to our member of UKM through WhatsApp group open by our classmates. For the first meeting, we discuss about virus that should be choose. When doing the video, I do not know that the free Zoom time was started when I start to conduct the meeting I thought the time started when recording the video. I was quite nervous when seeing the warning that said we have only left 10 minutes only. So since there are limited time we decided to continue discussion in whatsapp where majority of us decided to choose Rotavirus. We also divided the question need to answer and put in Coogle. Second video we divided the job for the final product. Follow up by the last video where we update the current progress. During this progress there are some problems faced up by us. First we had to find the time that everyone free to record the video since all of us had own commitment. We also had to find place that has stable internet connection to avoid any distraction during recording the video. Although there are some challenges doing Virtual Microbes had giving me new experience and learn new things and not forget get new friends J

What I learn:
  • ·         New application that can be used to communicate with person that far away from us.
  •     There is application that able to record our discussion video.
  •     There are many viruses that cause similar symptoms as in the module.
  •        Know information about Rotavirus.
  •      Learn to communicate with new friends
  •      Find new application that can help in making montage video.

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.
