The Colonization of Land02:22

The Colonization of Land

37.7K
Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...

Bacterial Transformation

In 1928, bacteriologist Frederick Griffith worked on a vaccine for pneumonia, which is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. Griffith studied two pneumonia strains in mice: one pathogenic and one non-pathogenic. Only the pathogenic strain killed host mice.
Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic strain and mixed its remains with the live, non-pathogenic strain. Not only did the mixture kill host mice, but it also contained living pathogenic bacteria that...

Bacterial Signaling01:30

Bacterial Signaling

40.9K
Bacterial signaling can occur within bacteria (intracellular) or between bacteria (intercellular). At times, a group of bacteria behaves like a community. To achieve this, they engage in quorum sensing, the perception of higher cell density that causes changes in gene expression. Quorum sensing involves both extracellular and intracellular signaling. The signaling cascade starts with a molecule called an autoinducer (AI). Individual bacteria produce AIs that move out of the bacterial cell...

Bacterial RNA Polymerase00:43

Bacterial RNA Polymerase

32.8K
Unlike eukaryotes, bacteria use a single RNA Polymerase (RNAP) to transcribe all genes. The different subunits of bacterial RNAPhave distinct functions. The multisubunit structure of the bacterial RNAP helps the enzyme to maintain catalytic function, facilitate assembly, interact with DNA and RNA, and self-regulate its activity.
In most genes, the transcription site is a single base present upstream of the coding sequence. Though RNAP is a catalytically efficient enzyme, it does not recognize...

Bacterial Transcription01:53

Bacterial Transcription

36.6K
RNA polymerase (RNAP) carries out DNA-dependent RNA synthesis in both bacteria and eukaryotes. Bacteria do not have a membrane-bound nucleus. So, transcription and translation occur simultaneously, on the same DNA template.
Transcription can be divided into three main stages, each involving distinct DNA sequences to guide the polymerase. These are:

Tissues

85.6K
Cells with similar structure and function are grouped into tissues. A group of tissues with a specialized function is called an organ. There are four main types of tissue in vertebrates: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Microbiology
  • Biocompatibility

Background:

  • Limited clinical data exists on denture base biofilm composition and tissue compatibility.
  • Polyamide is a hypoallergenic alternative to conventional polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resins.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare bacterial colonization and tissue compatibility of polyamide versus PMMA denture base materials intraorally.
  • To evaluate the genotoxic potential of these materials using micronuclei as a marker.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized split-mouth design was used with 10 subjects.
  • Polyamide and PMMA specimens were worn intraorally for four weeks.
  • Bacterial colonization was assessed via cultivation and VITEK-MS identification; cytological smear tests evaluated micronuclei.

Main Results:

  • A similar bacterial distribution was observed on both polyamide and PMMA specimens, with an average of 17.8 and 17.3 species, respectively.
  • No significant differences in bacterial colonization or genotoxic potential (micronuclei) were detected between the two materials.
  • Both materials supported the growth of diverse bacterial species, including potential pathogens.

Conclusions:

  • Denture base resin material type does not significantly influence the composition of the four-week in situ bacterial biofilm.
  • Polyamide and PMMA exhibit comparable tissue compatibility and bacterial colonization profiles.
  • Both materials are suggested to be suitable for clinical application as denture base materials.
