A Microbial Approach to Forensic Science

Abstract

Bacteria’s are the small single cellular primitive organisms on the earth (Rosenberg, E.2017). They are present ubiquitously, including exogenous and endogenous environment of almost all the living organisms existing on the earth. Many of these microbes are known to carry out various functions in the biosystems of the mammals for eg. Maintaining Skin pH (Linares, 2015), endogenous bacteria helps in digestion, metabolism processes, and in Melanogaster drosophila they help in choosing a partner for reproduction (Blum JE, 2013). Apart from the above mentioned functions they also help in degradation of complex organic substances. They are also very useful in the food industry to prepare cakes and breads to wine and alcohol (Breeze, 2018). Infact to be on more interesting part of these organisms that they are even present in extreme climatic conditions, these types of bacteria are known as extremophiles. The bacteria named Prologues fumarii grows in the temp. Of 80-113 deg C (Hafenbradl, 1997). Whereas, the bacteria named Psychrophiles can grow in very cold climatic conditions. Few of them are even noted to grow between the glacier layers (D'Amico et al, 2006).
