Rumen Microbial Ecology

The habitat of microorganisms are so diverse which make it hard to anaylyze because of the large and rapid changes of substrate, moisture, pH, tempreture and others physical factors. Certain habitat like bodies of plantss and ani are nearly contstant for example like the anaerobic condition of rumen which not only provides constant moisture, pH, tempreture but it also no limitation which only allow certain number of microorganism to survive. Let's learn more about it..

Oral Microbiology

Oral microbiome is a complex ecological system where upto 700 species of microorganisms that have been identified. Oral hygiene isvery important because oral microbes can cause dental plaque and caries, you want that? Understanding of the oral environment and microbial interactions leads to understanding the main causes for the onset of oral diseases.

Mirobes and Cats

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) parasite which is excreted by cats in their feces is the microbe that causes Toxoplasmosis. It is one of the most common parasitic diseases and is known to affect nearly all warm-blooded animals and humans, but cats are the primary living host.T. gondii is also a major threat to people with weakened immunity.

This “latent” parasite may be quietly tweaking the connections between human neurons, changing our response to frightening situations, our trust in others, how outgoing we are, and even our preference for certain scents. Flegr said that he believes that the organism also contributes to car crashes, suicides and mental disorder such as schizophrenia. He also stated that Toxoplasma might even kill  as many people as malaria, or at least a million people a year.

The life cycle of this parasite is completed in cats. Cats are the only mammals in which this parasite is passed through the feces and into the environment as part of the cycle. However, contact with raw meat and unwashed produce is also a very significant and well known source of human infection.

Human Microbiome

Vagina is one of the women’s body part that have microbiota inhabit the area. The vaginal microbiomes that help prevent urogenital are clustered into five groups where four are dominated by Lactobacillus iners, L.crispatus, L.gasseri and L.jensenii ( J.Ravel 2011). The presence of normal microbiota play an important role in preventing a lot of diseases involving the vagina.
