3rd week being microbiology student ~

SEPTEMBER 22, 2014; MONDAY; at BMF

Hi everyone ! Assalamualaikum w.b.t ..

‘Replacement class’ ==”  .Very tired and lazy to attend. Actually, there is no BMY3101 on Monday but we have to replace the class for last holiday on Tuesday.  Glad to be there because the class was enjoyable J

Everyday Dr. have announcement to announce. At that day, Dr. told that our project title was change from ‘Adopt a Microbe’ to ‘Thank a Microbe’. Maybe this is due to some students suggestion but it sounds great. I never think of that. My type is just accept what others give to me. Hehe.

Title: Thank a Microbe
Learning Activities: Beneficial of microbes and the application.
I really hope that I will achieve the objective of this assignment.

Due date: October 18^th, 2014 (Saturday)

My group (Group 10) for this assignment are:
1. Me
2. Zahirah
3. Farah Ally
4. Dayang
This group only 4 because at first we thought that Chinese will join our group but  then its too late. Huhu. Sorry Radin because we reject you.:’(

As result from our discussion, the microbe that we will thank of is Bacillus thuringiesis in agriculture field. This task will be present in two minutes video together with the A1 size of poster. To do this project, we have to use one of an application called Aurasma. We will use  a new technology that can change the way we look at the object. It works with smartphone and tablets to, in real time, turn static images or even objects into videos, games and interactive experiences. To use it, we have to aim our phone at a poster and see a video about that poster.

Furthermore, Dr. announce that we have individually task and must hand in as digital scrapbook on December 9^th,2014 (Sunday). L So many work. (Its okay Sarah,, you can do it!! Oh Allah.. please ease my wayyyyy)
Every task that Dr give to us have their particular application. Haaa, as I said, Dr Wan is a superwoman. She knows everything.. AWESOME!

Microscopy was the topic.

The points I have highlighted:

1.    Categories of microscopes

2.    Types of microscopes

3.    Types of stains and it uses

4.    Type of light microscopes

5.    H1N1 can be treated by Tamiflu (made of China) that contains Illicium verum (bunga lawang).

6.    The procedure of gram-staining

7.    Mostly gram-positive in coccus shape while gram-negative in rod-shape.

8.    Crystal violet is use to kill the bacteria

9.    Iodene treatment for retained the colour of bacteria.

10. Decolorization by using ethanol or acetone.

11. Fastidious means CEREWET. (e.g. Mycobacterium)

12. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) :

·         Cause peptic ulcers but most people with H. pylori in their digestive systems donot develop ulcers. Next, infection in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenum).

·         4 test are used to detect H. pylori:   (source : www.webmd.com)

1.    Blood antibody test

·         To see whether your body has made antibodies to bacteria. If you have antibodies to H. pylori in your blood, it means either you are currently infected or have been infected in the past.

2.    Urea breath test

·         To see if you have H. pyloribacteria in stomach. Itcan show if you have the bacteria infection. Also, to see if treatment has worked to get rid of it.

3.    Stool antigen test

·         To see if substences that trigger the immune system to fight an H. pylori infection are present in your feces. Stool antigen testing may be done to help support a diagnosis of the bacteria infection or to find out whether treatment for an H. pylori infection has been successful.

4.    Stomach biopsy

·         A small sample (biopsy) is taken fro the lining of your stomach and small intestine during an endoscopy. Several different test may be done on the biopsy sample.

Gastric Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp Treated with Helicobacter pyloriEradication Therapy

H. pylori

The muddiest point:

1.    DNA found by Woese and Sanger? As I know it is found by Francis Crick and James Watson.

2.    The gram-staining is only for bacteria but then if im not mistaken Dr. said that archae also can use gram-staining. A bit confuse. Blur.

Suggestion:

1.    Sometimes I turn in blur mood. :D
So, I hope Dr. will recognize which person are blur and you will explain it clearly. Hehee.. Actually, I do not know how to describe the situations and what is my problem?

2.    Must all of us to do mind map for every topic because it works for us to remember easily.

Various application for mind map making:

1.    Mindmeister

2.    Mindomo

3.    Mind42

4.    Simplemind

5.    Mindmaple

6.    Mindmup

7.    Connected mind

8.    Examtime

9.    Popplet

10. Bubbl.us

Try to explore the applications. It will make your life better and being proactive teacher, students or workers.

In my opinion, mapping will ease the way to remember and save the time to study, espeacially for science students. In exam,we will figure it out and imagine what we have done on mapping. Therefore, I think Dr. should continue ‘forcing’ us to make a mind map for every topic. It was a GREAT idea eventhough we are quiet hardly to make it. J

We already submitted our mind map for internal cell structure of prokaryotic cell. This task was individually. 

For me, if you are about study or doing revision, make sure your hands move on. Either you are writing, or typing. It will make our revision more effective. 

Half and hour starting of lecture are turn off colours. Sleepy zZZZzz.. May be it is due to my lackness which is not study before enter the lecture. The topic was about external cell structure that including flagella, axial filaments, Glycocalyx , frimbiae and pili.

I thought Dr. want to do quiz . Luckily, it just an activity that all of us can not have to discuss but reflect what we have learn and do mapping about prokaryotes on a white board. Oh,, it was interesting. I like it. But, a bit unsatisfied towards ‘C’ and ‘M’. Why they were so excited until all I want to write on that board they take. Haha. By the way, they were so funny.

The point I have highlited :

1.    Autoclave: Are used for applications requiring constant pressure and temperature for long periods of time. Common application:

·         Sterilization of instruments.

·         Polymerization of rubbers and plastics.

2.    Spirillium inside water.

3.    Treponema pallidum is a spirochaete bacterium with subspeicies that cause treponemal disease. Treponemas only visible using dark field illumination.

4.    The relationship between size and shape of bacteria:

The shape will determine ability of movement. Therefore, the smaller the size will make it move faster because the shape is more flexible.

Thats all.. Arigato !!
