it is generally a microorganism between bacteria and viruses.

a genus of gram negative bacteria that are carried as parasites by ticks and fleas among other organisms they cause many diseases one example is typhus.they are obligate parasites thus they cannot live without their host, choosing only specific organisms as hosts.

E.\nBecause bacteria can obtain nutrition chemically, they can live in conditions that no-one thought possible, for example in volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean.

It's called evolution, and yes it's true, and yes we see less complicated organisms evolve into more complicated structers, like the flu virus.

Mostly because of bacteriophages (a type of virus), their natural *predators*. For every bacteria, there are 10 phage particles. And phages are very specific, there are even phages that *attack* archeobacteria.

it's called a gram stain.  if the microbe stains, then it is said to be gram positive... if it doesn't stain (or stains poorly), then it's gram negative.\n\nyou have to use all the stains to complete the gram staining process

First, why it can be bad. Antibiotics are substances that kill bacteria; penecillin is one of the most famous. They help the body by killing bacteria that are causing an infection. But they don't work against viruses. Sometimes it's hard to tell if a virus or bacteria is causing an illness. Bacteria can become immune to antibiotics, just like people can develop a tolerance to medicines and they don't work like they should. When bacteria become immune to an antibiotic, that means that the antibiotic won't be effective at killing that strain of bacteria. So the next person who needs an antibiotic for that strain of bacteria needs a different (and usually stronger) antibiotic. If bacteria get immune to enough antibiotics, they can cause serious outbreaks that people won't be able to deal with. But there's sort-of good news: there are many strains of bacteria out there. Although that means many chances of infection, it also means that people will get different strains (and different strains mean different medicines and different susceptibilities to antibiotics). If a bacteria strain is immune to some of the strongest antibiotics available, then it would be a super-bacteria, causing potentially millions of deaths world-wide.\n\nDoctors prescribe antibotics for a number of reasons. A lot of people don't feel like their doctor visit was worthwhile unless they get a prescription to help them feel better. Sometimes it's hard to tell if a virus or a bacteria is causing the problem. Sometimes doctors prescribe antibiotics for virus illnesses because they think that it will help kill any bacteria in the body, so the immune system can focus on the virus infection.

biomass, bugs & water - when biological materials are mixed with microbes and water, the microbes will "eat" the biological material and release bio-gas.  If the microbes are anaerobic, you must prevent air from getting into the system.  If they are aerobic microbes, you may need to aerate the system.

If your thinking in philosophical terms, I can see a likeness to a virus, It is infectious to want to speak and communicate, it grows and mutates in common usages and it has affect and effect in actions taken.  It is a non destructive, but in curable product of civilization.

Biotechnology and Microbiology are very related branches of biology. Infact there is no Biotechnology without Microbiology. Microbiology is the fundamental of Biotechnology. It also offers immense scope like Biotechnology.First of all lets see what is Biotechnology or Biotech. Biotechnology is the application of Biology to the welfare of mankind. \n\nBiotechnology can be defined as the application of micro-organisms, plants and animals in industry. It is a relatively old branch that has recieved tremendous attention in the recent past. Now everyone is talking about biotechnology. Remember the production of alcoholic beverages, curdling of milk or fermentation of idli-dosa batter are examples of simple biotechnlogy. Production of vinegar and alcoholic beverages, production of drugs and medicines, production of high productivity seeds and fertilizers etc. comes under the purview of biotechnology. All these are big business today. All this is going to grow ever greater and that too with a faster pace.\n\nMicrobiology is the study of micro-organisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, algae etc. Microorganisms as we konw can't be seen with naked eyes. Hence we make use of microscope to view microorganisms. Electron microscopes are a must if we want to view and study viruses. Microbiology includes subjects like Genetics, Biochemistry, Fermentation Technology, Immunology, Medical Microbiology and Pathology and Applied branches like Soil Microbiology, Plant Microbiology, Food and Dairy Technology etc.It thus forms the basis of Biotechnology.\n\nScope in Biotechnology and Microbiology is enormous. You can do a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology or Microbiology. This is a three year university program.Some best universities in India that offer BSc. Biotechnology and Microbiology are University of Pune(http://www.unipune.ernet.in), Delhi University, Bangalore University etc. After doing BSc., its recommended that one should go for Masters course which will fine tune his/her career. One can do MSc. Microbiology or Biotechnology. Some top universities offering MSc. Biotechnology and Microbiology in India are University of Pune, Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU), University of Delhi, Bangalore University etc. University of Pune is the first university in South-East Asia to start MBA in Biotechnology or MBA-BT. This is a two year post-graduate program in management.The eligibility for doing MBA-Biotechnology is a minimum three year graduation in science field like biotechnology, microbiology, physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, genetics, agricultural biology, pathology, computer sciences etc. Even engineers can apply for this course and they have great scope in bio-instrumentation firms. MBA in Biotechnology is a good career option for those who have done Bsc. If you have done BSc. Biotech or Microbiology then you can futher do MBA-Biotechnology. MBA-Biotechnology is also called MBA-Biotech or MBA-BT. MBA-Biotech is available at the PUMBA(Department of Management Sciences, University of Pune).It is No.1 MBA-BT course in India. Placements are amazing as the course has recieved good response from industry. After doing MBA-Biotechnology you get to become a manager in Biotech and Pharma companies. The need for MBA-Biotech is going at a rapid pace as the whole BT sector is booming. For details regarding MBA-Biotechnology visit http://www.microbiologyindia.cjb.net , India's first student oriented web-site on Biotechnology and Microbiology and listed on major search engines like Google search, Yahoo Search, AltaVista Search, Hot-Bot etc.\n\nAdvantage India - India offers distinct advantage for Biotech industry. The major advantage is the cost advantage of production in India.India also offers large pool of highly skilled technical people. Now India also offers growing pool of Managerial population who can understand Biotech sector and manage it.Kudos to the University of Pune for starting such unique MBA in Biotechnology program. Al

I think that meningitis, both viral which is the non lethal one and bacterial which is deadly, have these symptoms.

Bacteriophage lierally means "bacteria-eating" it describes a virus that infects bacteria.  You might want to look up lytic and lysogenic cycles, they will explain the "life cycle" of a virus, but im not sure you can really put a time on it, it depends on the type of virus and the type of bacteria...

the use of microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeasts, or biological substances, such as enzymes, to perform specific industrial or manufacturing processes. Applications include production of certain drugs, synthetic hormones, and bulk foodstuffs.

Here is a fairly complete description of differences:\nhttp://www.microbe.org/microbes/virus_or_bacterium.asp\n\nA few notable ones are:  size (bacteria are much larger!), complexity (bacteria are more complex), ability to replicate (viruses require a host to reproduce).\n\nThe body CAN fight off both harmful bacteria and viruses! :-)\n\nGood luck!
