Efflux pumps are what microbes use to rid themselves of toxic materials and drugs. The way science is perusing this is to attach these pumps with compounds called efflux-pump inhibitors. These compounds have no infection fighting power but can make current antimicrobial drugs more effective (Christensen). Microbes that caused sickness in the pre anti...

Dna Gel Electrophoresis Research
1,724 wordsThe main objective of this lab was to identify unknown plasmids by observation of their genotype and phenotype. We observed the plasmids phenotype by using it to transform bacteria. When the plasmid is in a bacterial host the antibiotic resistance gene can be expressed and impart resistance to the host. We also analyzed the genotype of the unknown plasmid by performing a variety of molecular genetic techniques such as predigestion, electrophoresis in arose gel, staining with ethidium bromide, an...

Life On Earth Newly Discovered
881 wordsUntil recently, scientists believed that the sole source of energy responsible for life on earth was the sun. In 1977, a group of scientists researching the theory of plate tectonics, traveled to the floor of the equatorial Pacific Ocean and discovered something that could possibly explain how life began on this planet. From the Galapagos Rifts thermal springs, scientists discovered densely populated communities of several species never before observed. Since that time the Federal Government has...
