Introduction to Prokaryotes

Assalamualaikum and hi! This is my first entry for my third semester. So here we go. 

Our first topic is actually not something new to us. It is aaaalllll about prokaryotes. But there are few new things of course. We learned about proteobacteria. 

Over all there are six of them;

 

Alphaproteobacteria
 Betaproteobacteria
Gammaproteobacteria
Deltaproteobacteria
Epsilonproteobacteria
Zetaproteobacteria  

 

Just click on them to find out more okayyy.

 

I also found out that Deinococcus radiodurans is actually called as 'Conan the Bacterium'.

 

Why is it called with a name like that??

For those who have the same age as me, or basically 90's kids, we only know about Detective Conan, that famous Japan cartoon hahaha so of course we are going to wonder why this bacterium is called as 'Conan'. The name actually is originated from a movie entitled, 'Conan The Barbarian'. In this movie, Conan is the main character. He is very brave and strong of course. So basically Deinococcus radiodurans is called with that name is because of its characteristics which able withstand any extreme conditions. 

Well, I actually learned 2 new things. About the movie(haha) and what 'Conan' is all about. 

 

 

 I think this is enough for this entry. Gonna continue on next entry!
