MICROBES IN HUMAN WELFARE
A geyser is a vent in Earth's surface that periodically ejects a column of hot water and steam. The United States has two "Old Faithful" geysers, both of which produce predictable eruptions. This one is near Calistoga, California. © iStockphoto / Stephan Hoerold.

Yogurt is a popularly consumed milk product prepared by culturing live microorganisms in milk. These microbes known as yogurt cultures belong to Acidophilus bacteria, and are characterized by their ability to thrive in acidic environment. When milk is treated with yogurt cultures, the lactose gets converted to lactic acid. This acid then reacts with the milk proteins, resulting in a tart tasting thick product, called yogurt. There are several yogurt varieties, of which Greek yogurt is one of them.

Microbes-enzymes Lipases-oily stain remover
Pectinases & proteases – clearing the fruit juices. Streptokinase (streptococcus-modified by genetic engineering) – clot buster – for removing the clots from the blood vessels of patients ( myocardial infarction leading to heart attack)
29
Myocardial infarction Commonly known as a heart attack
Myocardial infarction (MI) gross necrosis of the myocardium, due to interruption of the blood supply to the area. Myocardial infarction shown in cross-section of heart (ventricles only). Myocardial infarction Commonly known as a heart attack in which some of the heart's blood supply is severely cut off or restricted, causing the heart muscle to suffer and die from lack of oxygen.
30
What are the symptoms of a heart attack?
Pain, fullness, and/or squeezing sensation of the chest Jaw pain, toothache, headache Shortness of breath Nausea, vomiting, and/or general epigastric (upper middle abdomen) discomfort Sweating Heartburn and/or indigestion Arm pain (more commonly the left arm, but may be either arm) Upper back pain General malaise (vague feeling of illness) No symptoms (Approximately one quarter of all heart attacks are silent, without chest pain or new symptoms. Silent heart attacks are especially common among patients with diabetes mellitus.)
