The City Centre where I live has just been renewed and yet it is already coated with Bubblegum. Is there anything that eats Bubblegum in the wild? Could a bacteria be developed like Nylonase that digests all this Bubblegum that clogs our pavements?

So can you (anyone) please explain to me why it is important to leave the dough to rise in a warm place?

Thank you so very much.

 What happened to bacteria anaerobic respiration and lactic acid repudiation and bacteria reproduction when....

The temprature is low e.g 4c

The temrature is warm e.g 24c

The temparture is hot e.g 85c

Thanks :)

-making bacteria impacts on how you make and stur youghurt.

Plaese answer question ASAP. thanks you. Have a nice day! :)

AND ALSO.....

What life process occurs in the bacteria in order to make this substance?

Example words????

Protein, spores, lactic acid, bacteria, anaerobic resperation, fermentation, anerobic resperation, reproduction, flangella.

THANKS!

Clostridium botulinum is the bacterium that causes botulism (a form of food poisioning). The bacterium produces a potent toxin that causes muscle paralysis by reducing the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from motor neurons.  For many other bacteria, the value (from the point of view of the microbe) is clear (for example, cholera is spread by contamination of food and water with feces from infected individuals; the cholera bacterium produces a toxin that leads to massive watery diarrhea which increases the likelihood of contamination), but I don't see how this toxin helps Clostridium.

If you drop a piece of food on the floor, it is supposedly safe to eat it as long as you pick it up before 10 seconds has elapsed, because it takes that amount of time before it can be colonised by microbial life. Is there any truth in this whatsoever?

Does washing your hands in (bearably) hot water kill bacteria? Bearing in mind the hot water is only in contact with the hands for a few seconds. I appreciate the question may be irrelevant if soap removes all bacteria anyway. Is soap 100% effective? Even so, if soap wasn't available, would hot water provide an adequate substitute to ensure the hands are free of potentially harmful bacteria?

We keep foodstuffs in the fridge to reduce bacterial spoilage but are there any bacteria that thrive best at fridge temperatures? Are some foodstuffs more likely to spoil in the fridge rather than out of it because they carry such bacteria?

Both my kids had almost completely black teeth around age 2. It was definitely not caries. All the dentist could tell us was that it is harmless and will eventually disappear (which it did) - but which organism (bacterium?) causes these stains, and why do only some children get them?
