Summary Introduction

To identify:

The two streams without culturing them in the laboratory.

Introduction:

There is a comparison between two species of bacteria that exist in a polluted stream with the species that exist in an unpolluted stream. The physical and chemical properties of the bacteria are identified by growing them in the laboratory. In this case, it is possible that might the cultures of most of the bacteria will not grow.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The two water samples of polluted and unpolluted areas are analyzed and compared to determine the differences between the two species of bacteria. The genomes of the bacteria lived in the unpolluted stream is compared with the genome of the bacterial species lived in polluted water. The comparison between the two databases derived from the genomes of the bacteria will confirm the types of bacteria in the polluted and unpolluted stream.

The genetic analysis is done from the bacteriapresent in the polluted or unpolluted stream. The genetic information from the bacteria is compared with the genetic information which is existing in the bacterial genomes. The sequences of DNA present in database entries is compared with databases of the genomes of bacteria present in both the streams.

Conclusion

The genomes of the bacteria of the polluted and unpolluted stream are compared with each other and with the databases which are derived from the existing bacteria.

We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.
