Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Today is our eighth lecture. Dr Wan continued our lecture with Intracellular Structure of Prokaryote on subtopic inclusion. There are six components of inclusions :

1. Metachromatic granule
2. Polysaccharides granule
3. Lipid inclusion
4. Magnetosome
5. Carboxysome
6. Gas vesicles

We also learnt about endospore. Endospore are triggered in harsh condition. If not, endospore being resting structure and it will germinate when there are in good conditions.

And I also learnt what is desiccation. Desiccation is extremely dry and microbe that can survive is called Xerophilic. Dipcolinic acid can prevent from desiccation. And bacteria that can survive in extreme salt is called Halophilic.

Todays lecture was so fun, because Dr Wan bring us rendang and nasi impit. Malyanah also bring kek lapis from Sarawak. Yummmyyyyy!

That’s all for today, till we meet again. Bye!
