In a pure culture growing in a liquid medium, we find that the development and decline of bacterial populations follow a definite, predictable course.
The basic elements of bacterial anatomy include (1) the cell wall and (2) the inner cell body, or cytoplasm.
Bacteria are prokaryotes and among the most abundant organisms on earth. The vast majority play a positive role in nature.
Antibiotic resistance is one of the most important topics that a beginning biology student going into medicine should learn and understand.
Another example of design which can be seen in the microbial world is the production of a blood-red pigment made by Serratia marcescens.
There are many extraordinary examples of design in the microbial world. In this chapter, two examples are given.
This book will describe designed structures and purposeful functions in microorganisms, explain the origin of disease, and showcase Bible-believing scientists.
Fleas are considered a nuisance. How can they be explained as a part of God’s very good creation?
Microbes live in a mutualistic relationship with the human body, make up the human microbiome, and play a role in our health by modulating the immune system.
There were no pathogens, parasites, or disease prior the Fall and subsequent Curse, so the immune system may have functioned differently in that world.
Microbiology and parasitology research based on the creation paradigm appears to provide some answers puzzling questions.
Although van Leeuwenhoek was not the inventor of the microscope, he advanced it more than anyone else for seeing living things.
The objectives of this article are to explain the mysterious appearance of crimson-colored bacteria on food and communion bread/wafers, over the centuries, as well as to describe the biological basis
Even though some strains are pathogenic, most E. coli strains still show evidence of being one of God’s “very good” creations.
Microbiology is dominated by evolution today. Just look at any text, journal article, or the topics presented at professional scientific meetings.
Leprosy has terrified humanity since ancient times and was reported as early as 600 BC in India, China, and Egypt. Hansen’s disease is still a major health problem.
Today, we take for granted that germs cause disease, and many people fear them. Yet for centuries, the concept of germs was virtually unknown.
