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.

          The first chapter of microbial ecology is The principles of ecology. When learning this chapter, I just realized that ecology is a big subject that has many principles and disciplines. I also learn about strategist microbes used that is r and k. r strategist has high reproductive rates while k strategist is more to adaptation. Another important aspect covered is homeostasis. Autotrophic succession happen when P:R> 1. P stands for photosynthesis, while R is respiration. Autotrophic succession cause accumulation of biomass. When P:R< 1, the situation is known as heterotrophic succession where consumption of organic matter is more than the production.   When studying next topic,Microbial Group and Microbial Nutrition Metabolism it is a  bit repetition on what we have learn before this. In microbial group  I discover  few microbes on certain habitat based on their microbial group.While in Microbial Nutrition Metabolism I learn ...

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 com...

Awesome Microbe Carnival Before When Dr Wan tell us about Awesome Microbe Carnival at first I thought this even maybe similar with our previous event.Later on when we know that we have to do 3D model I quite shock because  I have never have heard about it before so I was wonder how to do it and it is hard?. Next, we know that this event involve all microbiology student from year 1 to  Final year.The first meeting that all microbiology student attend is about the  job dividing for each years.For second year,third semester we were asked to do structure of prokaryote. Our group have to do about Nucleoid.I wonder how we should present because there are many people different course,different age that will be present during that day. After I feel relieve when I see the 3d model .I have know about a few software that can do the 3d model and how to it based on software that I try.It is quite valuable knowledge that I get.Hope I can do better 3d model next time. Duri...
