Bioremediation is the use of organisms like bacteria, archea or fungi to metabolize pollutants. Instead of simply collecting the pollutant, bioremediation relies on living organisms to consume and break down the compound, turning it into a natural, harmless product. This technique is often used to help clean up major oil spills. Watch the following video and article link to learn more:

Address the following questions in essay format:
Research a microbe that can be used in bioremediation and provide the following information:
1) Provide the scientific name and identification of the bacteria that is used in bioremediation. How is it classified? Give a brief description of your bacteria. What is it’s normal environment?
2) Which biogeochemical cycle does the bacterium participate in (Carbon, nitrogen, or phosphorus cycling)? How is this important to its role in bioremediation?
3) How are bacteria as a whole being genetically modified to improve bioremediation?
3) What are some limitations to using bacteria for bioremediation?

Question 1 :
Media Split On Kaci Hickox’s Quarantine . Newsy. Accessed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc2Eb9ksrFk on September 14, 2016.
The Ebola outbreak in Western Africa has already claimed thousands of lives and health organizations around the world fear that the number will only continue to rise. Kaci Hickox, a U.S. nurse who worked for Doctors Without Borders treated Ebola patients in Sierra Leone for several days in 2014. When she returned to the US, she was detained and quarantined, despite showing no symptoms of Ebola.
Research the effects and symptoms of Ebola, then address the following questions in your initial post:

  1. Do you think the restrictive measures imposed on Ms. Hickox were justified?
  2. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of imposing these measures to guard against spreading potentially contagious diseases?

What ethical considerations should be taken into account in making decisions about when to impose these kinds of restrictive measures?
Question 2 :

  • Which topics and concepts in this course have been most interesting to you?
  • Which class activities or assignments helped you learn the most?
  • Which activities did you find the most challenging?
  • Describe how you improved your knowledge, skills, abilities, and yourself through this course.
  • Evaluate the work you did during the session for the class and explain ways you could have performed better.
  • Identify topics you did not understand or successfully implemented and suggest how to improve the course material on those topics.
  • Do you feel you achieved the course outcomes? Why or why not?

Part I
Module 4’s Home page was packed with pathogens!  Choose three that surprised you most, give a brief description, and explain why you were surprised by them.
For the second part of this assignment, you will take a closer look at the HIV virus, using this document to help you define the following terms.  First begin by reviewing the structure of DNA and the processes of transcription and translation.
Part II
Next address these topics on HIV:

  1. Discuss the function of HIV protease, integrase, and reverse transcriptase.
  2. Identify the characteristics of HIV which account for its transmission.  Include the basic epidemiology of this virus and its method of transfer.
  3. Discuss the normal function of B-lymphocytes, killer T-lymphocytes, helper T-lymphocytes, and macrophages in the immune system. Explain how HIV affects these components of a healthy immune system.
  4. Explain the function of the complement system and do some research to investigate how the HIV virus turns the complement system against the human body.  How has this led to new treatments against this disease?
