Where are bacteria found in the kitchen?
Sponges and rags, countertops and cutting boards are common kitchen surfaces where bacteria can thrive. Sponges and rags are the most overlooked environment for germ infestation. The cellulose sponge is ideal for bacterial growth. Here bacteria have a surface to cling to, a supply of nutrients and moisture.
What are the bacteria commonly found at home?
Bacteria and viruses in the home
- Staphylococcus aureus, or staph.
- yeast and mold.
- Salmonella.
- Escherichia coli, or E. coli.
- fecal matter.
What are germs and how do they get in the kitchen?
Sources of contamination. Hand-to-hand or hand-to-food contact. Most viruses and bacteria that cause colds, flu, and foodborne illnesses are spread this way. People with hepatitis A, noroviruses, salmonella, or the bacteria staphylococcus and streptococcus can pass these illnesses on to others by handling food.

What kind of relationship do lichens have with each other?
(Image: © Robert Lücking) A lichen, or lichenized fungus, is actually two organisms functioning as a single, stable unit. Lichens comprise a fungus living in a symbiotic relationship with an alga or cyanobacterium (or both in some instances).
What are the names of the three genera of lichens?
In Britain, only three genera, Trebouxia , Trentepohlia and Nostoc are common fungal partners. Interestingly, the same alga can combine with different fungi to produce entirely different lichens. The same fungus can also form different lichens depending on the type of alga which it associates with.
Where are lichens found in the natural world?
…rock surfaces themselves may support lichens, some of the orange and vermilion species adding colour to the landscape. Lichen tundra is found in the drier and better-drained parts. Mosses are common, and some species may dominate the landscape to such an extent that it appears snow-covered.
Which is an example of a basal attachment of a lichen?
Typical basal attachments include rhizines, which are fungal filaments extending from the medulla, and a single, central structure called the holdfast, which latches onto rocks. The Forest Service gives the example of a foliose lichen called the umbilicate lichen, where the holdfast resembles an umbilical cord.
