Contaminated Media.

Contaminated Nutrient Agar Media.

The media is contaminated because the media was

prepared in Open Place [ normal lab and with so many

people was in near of the media. when it was preparing ]

not in Laminar flow air Cabinet.

Picture is taken by Shabab Mehebub from " Genetic engineering and Biotechnology Lab, East West University"

Different Bacterial colony are seen in this Media. Different types of Bacteria are grown in this Media. Some fungi are also grown in this media. In this picture [ From left side ] you can see this.

SO, THINK HOW MUCH MICROORGANISMS ARE IN CONTACT WITH US. THIS ARE NOTHING. YOU KNOW?? WE, HUMAN ARE CARRYING 3-6 pounds of BACTERIA. :D :)

MICROORGANISMS ARE GOOD FRIEND OF US......

Zika Virus Outbreak!

Z IK A Virus What is Zika Virus? Zika virus ( ZIKV) is a member of the Flaviviridae virus family and the Flavivirus genus. In humans, it initially causes a mild illness known as Zika fever , Zika, or Zika disease, which since the 1950s has been known to occur within a narrow equatorial belt from Africa to Asia. In 2014, the virus spread eastward across the Pacific Ocean to French Polynesia , then to Easter Island and in 2015 to Central America, the Caribbean, and South America, where the Zika outbreak has reached pandemic levels. Illustration of Zika Virus. Zika virus is related to dengue , yellow fever , Japanese encephalitis , and West Nile viruses. The illness it causes is similar to a mild form of dengue fever , is treated by rest, and cannot yet be prevented by drugs or vaccines. There is a possible link between Zika fever and m

Editing of Human Embryo

Editing of Human Embryo What is CRISPR? Clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats (abbreviated as CRISPR , pronounced crisper are segments of prokaryotic DNA containing short repetitions of base sequences. Each repetition is followed by short segments of " spacer DNA " from previous exposures to a bacterial virus or plasmid . How t o U se? By Editing Genome CRISPRs have been used to cut five to 62 genes at once: pig cells have been engineered to inactivate all 62 Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus in the pig genome, which eliminated infection from the pig to human cells in culture. CRISPR's low cost compared to alternatives is widely seen as revolutionary. Selective engineered redirection of the CRISPR/Cas system was first demonstrated in 2012 in: · Immunization of industrially important bacteria, including some used in food production and large-scale ferment
