Bioluminescent light is produced by release of energy during chemical reactions. Oxidation of luciferin occur which is light emitting compound. It is regulated by enzymes luciferase or photoprotein. Photoprotein are variants of luciferase which require factors like oxygen and luciferin for light emission. Photoproteins are triggers that bind calcium or magnesium ions to produce light…

Abstract This study investigates the gut microbiota’s role in hibernation. It will involve euthermic 13-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus) during summer when they are active and winter during hibernation season. We investigated this in aroused squirrels using cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS), a technique that provides a real-time indication of fuel use by measuring the ratio…

The Black Death is well known as one of the deadliest diseases. According to Haensch, “the Black Death killed tens of millions of people in Europe, leaving misery and devastation in its wake, with successive epidemics ravaging the continent until the 18th century” (par. 1). The Black Death began because of Yersinia pestis, bacteria from…

Proposal for the domains Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya SUMMARY Prior classification of organisms fundamentally relied on classical phenotypes, complex morphologies, and detailed fossil records. However; with advancements made in molecular biology during the 20th century, Woese et. al proposed a new organismal classification at the highest level termed “domains”. The three proposed domains that encompass…
