Research Areas in Molecular Nutrition. Nutritional Biochemistry: Nutritional biochemistry is concerned with the properties of nutrients and other dietary constituents and the study of their biochemical, metabolic, physiological and epigenetic functions.tudy is directed by a Special Committee made up of your research advisor in the Molecular Nutrition concentration, faculty representing the other Graduate Fields of your minor area(s) of study, and an appointed member representing the Field of Nutrition.
Staphylococcus, or staph is a bacteria which is a common cause of skin, stomach and blood infections. Although outside the body staph is easily killed with antiseptics or even soap and water it is commonly found on the skin and clothing.
Cell structure and metabolism. Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacteria, which means that the cell wall of this bacteria consists of a very thick peptidoglycan layer. They form spherical colonies in clusters in 2 planes and have no flagella.RSA: The first serious emergence of antibiotic resistance staph occurred with a specific strain we refer to as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, abbreviated as MRSA. This strain expressed a modified penicillin-binding protein encoded by mecA gene and is present in 4 forms of Staph.
