History The term biodiversity was first introduced in the year 1985. Without biodiversity no one can live on our planet earth. It …
Sponges or Poriferans resemble most animals in the context of cell wall absence, multicellular organisation of cells and heterotrophic mode of nutrition. Phylum Porifera: An overview Poriferans come under the kingdom Animalia and share basic characteristics with other animals. Poriferans, however, do not possess actual tissues or organs, they have a very basic cellular organisation. …

Lactobacillus delbrueckii belonging to the Lactobacillus genre, functions as a probiotic bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract. Lactobacillus species are known as good bacteria for their probiotic role in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. This genre is also found in genital areas, the urinary bladder, and other human body parts. The primary function …
Introduction The Kingdom Monera consists of prokaryotes that are unicellular microorganisms that are most abundantly found in the world. Monera is made up of prokaryotic bacteria that are single-celled microorganisms. Monera has been classified under various classification systems: the three-kingdom system (by Haeckel 1866), the four-kingdom system (by Copeland 1956), the five-kingdom system (by Whittaker …
Lactobacillus acetotolerans is a bacterial species that was first isolated from white wine vinegar. The emerging importance of acid resistant bacteria Acid-resistant bacterial strains have begun to become widely used in industrial production due to their acid-resistance. Acid resistant bacteria have certain distinct characteristics and properties, such as- Development of protective mechanisms such as signal …
Bacteria is a single-celled microorganism found abundantly in the environment and capable of living in extreme conditions and inside the human body. Bacteria are considered prokaryotic organisms as they contain only a single cell. However, the prokaryotic organism can be divided into bacteria and Archaea. The difference between bacteria and archaea is that bacteria’s cell …
Pattern recognition molecules (PRM) are protein molecules that can recognize different molecules to initiate relative responses. Chemical structure of molecules Pattern recognition molecules (PRM) are also known as pattern recognition receptors (PRR), which recognize molecules from various sources to initiate interaction with these molecules. Molecules found in pathogens are called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). In …
