Reply:Hi Franjulet S,
The study of bacteria is bacteriology, a branch of microbiology.
A major step forward in the study of bacteria is the recognition.

Does anyone here believe in bacteria from space?
Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe of Cardiff University, seems to think there is a strong possibility. in other articles i read about his theories he suggested that the flu epidemic of 1919 which kill 20 million people and recently the Sars virus could have came from space. i would need some concrete proof before i agree to his theories. because if he right it would suggest other possibilities such as more complex life forms and perhaps even intelligent life beside our own - Aliens but that another cans of worms that I'm keeping well clear of.
however the astronaut Buzz Aldrin on his mission to the moon was ask to recover a part (i believe it was a camera of the probe)of an earlier moon probe that landed there 18 months before hand for research to see how the equipment survive in space for a prolong length of time. back at the lab when they examine the part they found bacteria that was trap in the part during assembily, the trap bacteria froze when it got into space. so after a 18 months in space it sat there frozen. but whats interesting is back at the lab they were able to resuscitate the bacteria. proving that bacteria could survive in space for long periods of time. leading to you question if there were bacteria out there, it could survive in space and have the means to get to earth eg meteroites.
it has even been suggested that life on earth could had evolve from bacteria from space.
I don't know if I believe it 100% but the possibility is there.

the discovery of gaseous planets outside our solar system the search is on for smaller planets. this doesn't mean there will be life on them but the possibilities do increase. Jupiter satellite Europa could support life. in fact ESA %26amp; NASA are discussing in sending a probe to Europa Report It
Reply:Yes and I cannot wait for the tripods to come down and harvest all of us to terraform the planet.
Reply:Yes, we have Bacteria which live in the most hostile of places and there are billions of stars and planets out there so its quite possible there is bacteria out there too !!.
Reply:I do.
Reply:Yes.
Along with showers of frogs, fish and hailstones!
The whirlwind theory doesn't hold water as the species in the drop are specific and clean ie no debris of any kind!
Also they are alive until they hit the ground which means they have been contained in their natural environment until then.
The world is very strange and wonderful and if we all stopped fighting about stuff that don't matter, we might have the energy to educate ourselves a little bit more!
Reply:Why not, there's life on Earth isn't there, so it's a certainty that life exists elsewhere in the universe!
Reply:The old peoples had tried with tenacity to understand the Universe, but they not yet had developed this conscience of the infinite life in the Land of Tarcísio Brito, where all species also the man have origin of the certainly ancestral hereditary succession, where the pursuing of the life (for the future) results in an arrival to the past of Daily pay-History; e that finishes in return to the gift of Our Historia. I circulate that one infinitely happens again in the Great Atom Universe, finite in its dimension and the infinite in its time. E you! Already it acquitted this conscience, or it prefers to believe other galaxies if finding?
Reply:They are called Bacterionauts.
Reply:The idea's an old one - panspermia goes back to about 500BC, though it was revived a few years ago. The "evidence" for it was very flaky though - the data were carefully selected.
Reply:Yes
Reply:What do you mean, believe in it? It's been found on asteroids hitting the Earth , collected and studied.
Whether it has anything to do with the beginning of life on Earth approximately 4.6bn years ago is another matter...

What determines the shape of bacteria?
The bacterias DNA coupled with the environment at the time the shape of the bacteria is recorded (wet, dry, etc.)
Give examples of gram - positive bacteria?
Gram-positive bacteria are those that retain a crystal violet dye during the Gram stain process. It includes many well-known genera such as Bacillus, Listeria, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, and Clostridium. It has also been expanded to include the Mollicutes, bacteria like Mycoplasma that lack cell walls and so cannot be stained by Gram, but are derived from such forms. The Deinococcus-Thermus bacteria also have Gram-positive stains, although they are structurally similar to Gram-negative bacteria.

Reply:In the original bacterial phyla, the Gram-positive forms made up the phylum Firmicutes, a name now used for the largest group. It includes many well-known genera such as Bacillus, Listeria, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, and Clostridium. It has also been expanded to include the Mollicutes, bacteria like Mycoplasma that lack cell walls and so cannot be stained by Gram, but are derived from such forms.
The actinobacteria are another major group of Gram-positive bacteria; they and the Firmicutes are referred to as the high and low G+C groups based on the guanosine and cytosine content of their DNA. If the second membrane is a derived condition, the two may have been basal among the bacteria; otherwise they are probably a relatively recent monophyletic group. They have been considered as possible ancestors for the archaeans and eukaryotes, both because they are unusual in lacking the second membrane and because of various biochemical similarities such as the presence of sterols.
The Deinococcus-Thermus bacteria also have Gram-positive stains, although they are structurally similar to Gram-negative bacteria.
Reply:Gram-positive bacteria are those that retain a crystal violet dye during the Gram stain process.[1] Gram-positive bacteria appear blue or violet under a microscope, while Gram-negative bacteria appear red or pink. The Gram classification system is empirical, and largely based on differences in cell wall structure.[2]
Characteristics
The following characteristics are generally present in a Gram-positive bacterium:[3]
A very thick cell wall (peptidoglycan).
If a flagellum is present, it contains two rings for support as opposed to four in Gram-negative bacteria because Gram-positive bacteria have only one membrane layer.
Teichoic acids and lipoteichoic acids are present, which serve to act as chelating agents, and also for certain types of adherence.

Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria may have a membrane called an S-layer. In Gram-negative bacteria, the S-layer is directly attached to the outer membrane. In Gram-positive bacteria, the S-layer is attached to the peptidoglycan layer. Unique to Gram-positive bacteria is the presence of teichoic acids in the cell wall. Some particular teichoic acids, lipoteichoic acids, have a lipid component and can assist in anchoring peptidoglycan, as the lipid component is embedded in the membrane

What are the importances of bacteria in the field of medicine and the food industry?
Bacteria and enzymes naturally occur in our bodies. They are a defense against infection and help to stabilize our bodily functions, as well as to break down food sources and keep a healthy balance in our intestines and colon. That is why antibiotics are dangerous if used incorrectly. They do not distinguish between the healthy bacteria and infections. If you destroy the healthy bacteria, you cause an inbalance in the functions of your natural system and that can lead to complications on many levels. Enzymes are cleansing agents that help our body to break down food sources.
The natural food industry has known for years about these healthy bacteria. You find them as cultures in yogurt. Yeast infections are one example. They are caused by an imbalance of bacteria and can be controlled through the use of healthy bacteria, as can thrush. The food industry is guilty of pushing cheap altenatives to what is a simple fix. Buy fresh, keep it simple and enjoy what is available in the season you are living. And belive that sugar is not what we need. Our government has created an imbalance in overprocessed food and has eleminated the oppotunity for farmers to produce the foods we need. Do some research on how sugar is a product that has been injected into our culture. It is cheap and it has provided a huge income to the producers.

Making yogurt taste good.
Reply:If the beneficial bacteria in our gut were wiped out, digestion would become very difficult, as they help break down the different foods.
Bacteria is vital to create cheese, yogert and such things as wine.
Reply:to make hormones,enzymes,interferron .gibric acid, glutamic acid in medicine. in food industry yeast is commonly used. it's used to make beer,wine,vinegar.
in cheese production penicillium is used. Acetobacter and Glucanobacter is used in vinegar produciton.

In which food can Salmonella bacteria be found?
And is Salmonella the full scientifc name that causes enteric stomach problems?
In which food can Salmonella bacteria be found?
Any raw food can give you that bacteria. Runny eggs for example, or even caesar's salad's dressing.
Reply:Chicken,pork any poultry
Reply:any food can pick the germ up off an unclean counter or cutting board, but poultry are one of the main carriers.
Reply:CHICKEN!
Reply:milk
Reply:Salmonella was named after Daniel Elmer Salmon, an American veterinary pathologist who, together with Theobald Smith (better known for his work on anaphylaxis), first discovered the Salmonella bacterium in 1885 from pigs.[2][3] Most cases involve undercooked meat, particularly poultry; other sources have been implicated in Salmonella enterica infections. Blood culture should be undertaken in cases where enteric fever, caused by Salmonella typhi or Salmonella paratyphi is suspected.
Reply:They are called Salmonella typhi and paratyphi (as well as Shigella)
Each different strain is found in specific foods with the proteins and fibers the particualr pathogen requires to breed and live.
Some grown in proteins
some on fibers like vegetables after they break down and begin to rot and some grow in liquids.
Reply:Poultry and eggs or anything that has come in contract with those.
