Gram staining
Happy sunny morning!!!
I came the busy lab in Saturday morning and did few gram staining experiments for caeni 2 and caeni 3. Both of them are Gram positive bacteria.
Research about Deinococcus radiodurans
Deinococcus radiodurans I. Introduction Deinococcus radiodurans is an extremophilic bacterium, one of the most radiation-resistant organisms known. It can survive cold, dehydration, vacuum, and acid and is therefore known as a polyexremophile and has been listed as the world's toughest bacterium in The Guinness Book of World Records. Deinococcus radiodurans was discovered in 1956 by an American researcher when he intended to sterilize beef canned foods by irradiating an intense gamma radiation. He was surprised to note that bacteria did not die below this radiation level. Deinococcus radiodurans is able to withstand radiation levels hundreds of times higher than lethal doses. The gene of Deinococcus radiodurans has a ring-shaped structure that breaks into thousands of pieces. The researchers noted that the cells appear to die in about an hour and a half. But three hours after the radiation, its D...
