A recombinant plasmid gets inside a bacteria by..a,b,c,d?
transformation.
Reply:Transformation.
You know this because the process of transformation involves inserting fragmented DNA sequences into a vector (ie. a plasmid) and then inserting the vector (plasmid) into a host.

Does rinsing vegetables with water remove bacteria?
If it is pointless to rinse your hands without soap, does rinsing vegetables with water do anything?
Does rinsing vegetables with water remove bacteria?
It does remove bacteria when u rinse in water, but the extent of removal is dependant on the surface of the vegetable. For example we will take tomatoes, it has wax coat on its surface and even if u wash/rinse for 100times the bacteria sustains on it. The rinsing is required to remove dirt and dirt is one of the sources of bacterial growth.
Reply:Rinsing removes dirt, dust, mold spores, nematode eggs and other nasty microscopic things.
Reply:depends what type of bacteria. If you want to be sure most are removed, then boil 'em veggies. Then again, bacteria you'd find on vegetables is harmless. You're also likely to find bacteria on the fork you use to eat those veggies. Really not much you can do, except for lap testes. Might i suggest performing a streak plate test.
Reply:rinsing does not remove the bacteria its the cooking that does it. Washing gets the dirt and any kinds of pesticides that could still be on the food.
Reply:No, rinsing in water will not remove bacteria. It will only clean off all mud, dirt, dust, pesticides, fertilisers, etc. If the water you use is not pure, then the bacteria from that could get onto the vegetables and make it more 'impure'. Cook vegs well to kill as much bacteria as possible.

Yes it does... even rinsing your hands will remove much of the bacteria on them even without soap..
But it will not get it all.. warm water is better than cold also
The best vegetation wash is a store bought one made for that or you can also make your own at home
here is just one recipe
1. Fill your kitchen dish pan with cold water.
2. Add 4 Tbs of salt and juice of 1/2 fresh lemon.
(This makes a diluted form of hydrochloric acid)
3. Soak fruits %26amp; vegetables 5 - 10 minutes.
4. Soak leafy green vegetables for 2 - 3 minutes.
5. Soak berries 1 - 2 minutes.
6. Rinse in cold water after soaking.
Some use vinegar other baking soda over salt..
E coli is the biggest threat and any washing you do helps!
Good Luck

Reply:yes, the mechanical action removes bacteria....
my question is, which bacteria are you so afraid of?
what's with all the germ-phobia lately... antibacterial soaps, people friggin scrubbing vegetables, friggin HEPA air filters, antibacterial glass cleaner, etc. etc...
don't people realize you'd be dead without bacteria... they live EVERYWHERE... ALL OVER YOUR SKIN... YOUR MOUTH, IN YOUR INTESTINES... ohhhhhhhhhhh goodnessss what shall we do!!!

Is Lyme disease a virus or bacteria?
Lyme disease, or borreliosis, is an emerging infectious disease caused by bacteria from the genus Borrelia.[1] The vector of infection is typically the bite of an infected black-legged or deer tick, but other carriers (including other ticks in the genus Ixodes) have been implicated.[2] Borrelia burgdorferi is the predominant cause of Lyme disease in the US and Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are in Europe.
The disease presentation varies widely, and may include a rash and flu-like symptoms in its initial stage, then musculoskeletal, arthritic, neurologic, psychiatric and cardiac manifestations. In a majority of cases, symptoms can be eliminated with antibiotics, especially if treatment begins early in the course of illness. Late or inadequate treatment often leads to "late stage" Lyme disease that is disabling and difficult to treat. Controversy over diagnosis, testing and treatment has led to two different standards of care

I hope it helps!
Reply:Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks most likely deer ticks but other ticks can give it too you.
be very careful when in tall grass and wooded areas.
if you feel flu like symtoms and have an odd rash (some people dont get the rash) see a doctor too treat it early otherwise it will be hard to treat and will need iv antibiotics.
Reply:Is this disease caused by germ warfare/contaminated vaccines. Look up research by Prof Donald W Scott, Dr Garth Nicholson and Dr James Martin and judge for yourself.

Does Anti-bacterial hansoap kill more bacteria than non-antibacterial hansoap?
Anti-bacterial soaps probably "kill" more bacteria than non-antibacterial soap, the important apsect of soap is that it is used to "remove" bacteria from your hands. Therefore the technique and time spent washing you hands is more important.
Soaps (both liquid and bar) rely on the mechanical scrubbing of you hands to remove germs. The soap acts as a detergent that breaks down water tension to "make water wetter" This makes it hard for bacteria to "stick" to you hands.
Just a word about antibiotic liquid soap. The active ingredient in most liquid soap is Triclosan. In the mid- to late-90s, Triclosan was thrown into any and every consumer product to make it "antibacterial" (soaps, plastics, even steering wheels). This misuse and overuse of triclosan has the potential to select for triclosan resistant bacteria. One of my former professors who is now head of National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring Systems (NARMS) for the FDA is a staunch opponent of the overuse of Triclosan. When he would question the effectiveness of Triclosan, the reply of the industries using triclosan was always "We do not make any claim of the effectiveness of Triclosan against bacteria". Ok, then why does your product say "Antibacterial"?
I am not trying to make you take a position on Triclosan but you, and the public in general, should be aware of the controversy of the use of it in everyday products
Does Anti-bacterial hansoap kill more bacteria than non-antibacterial hansoap?
A little, perhaps. But it also dries out your skin.
Reply:Yes of course it does
Reply:Hello Mille,
Based on various studies in this topic, the hand washing technique and the time spent on the hand wash matters more than the type of soap/hand wash used.
Although, many hand wash liquids claim that it contains moisturisers many of them dry your hand especially if you wash your hands very frequently. It causes the skin become dry and cracked. It increases the chances of bacterial invasion through the micro-cracks. Hence, it is mandatory to use moisturising hand cream after every hand wash to keep the skin supple.
Regardless of the type of soap/hand wash, spending 30 seconds on hand wash proved to be effective which removes most of the microbes from the hands.
Hope, this helps.

A bad consequence of bacteria? How about food poisoning, like E. coli and salmonella, makes people sick, and kills some.

I love bacteria!!!
They improve the soil so plants do better!
The good bacteria in my intestines keep the bad bacteria at bay to I don't get taco trots!
They get rid of solid waste in my septic system so my yard smells nice!
The good bacteria in my private areas kills yeast so I don't feel bad or stink.

it is curable with antibiotics
people die from eating e coli bacteria
and it makes your s hit smell better
