	US FDA/CFSAN - Bad Bug Book - Giardia lamblia
		Giardia lamblia is frequently diagnosed by visualizing the organism, either the trophozoite (active reproducing form) or the cyst (the resting stage that is resistant to adverse environmental conditions) in stained preparations or unstained wet mounts with the aid of a microscope.
		Organisms may be concentrated by sedimentation or flotation; however, these procedures reduce the number of recognizable organisms in the sample.
		This organism is implicated in 25% of the cases of gastrointestinal disease and may be present asymptomatically.

	Organism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although viruses do have enzymes and molecules characteristic of living organisms, they are incapable of surviving outside a host cell and most of their metabolic processes require a host and its 'genetic machinery'.
		One of the basic parameters of organism is its life span.
		The largest organism in the world may be a fungus carpeting nearly 10 square kilometers of an Oregon forest, and may be as old as 8500 years.

		The organism is alpha hemolytic and bile soluble and is inhibited by ethylhydrocupreine (optochin), an antibiotic.
		Histo.: Intracellular organisms are demonstratable in epithelium of crypts and villi.
		Histo.: The villus epithelium of the ileum is markedly degenerated, and the lamina propria is infiltrated with neutrophils and macrophages.

	Model organism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A model organism is a species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological phenomena, with the expectation that discoveries made in the organism model will provide insight into the workings of other organisms.
		This is possible because fundamental biological principles such as metabolic, regulatory, and developmental pathways, and the genes that code for them, are conserved through evolution.
		Often, model organisms are chosen on the basis that they are amenable to experimental manipulation.

	organism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In modern biology, the "organismic" point of view, as described by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, (Modern Theories of Development, 1933) replaced the teleological conception in drawing attention to the fact that practically all vital processes are so organized that they are directed to the maintenance, production, or restoration of the wholeness of the organism.
		Organisms have a history, both individually and collectively, and a complete understanding of an organism cannot be separated from its history.
		J.H. Woodger, in his article on "the concept of organism" of 1930, published in the Quarterly Review of Biology 5, 1-22, points out the persistent tendency within biology to accept Descartes' view of the organism as some kind of machine, that is, an entity in which the relations between the parts are external or noncommunicative.

	Using Transfer Functions to Predict an Organism's Behavior
		So if an organism is exposed to a VI 20" schedule for 200 seconds followed by extinction for 800 seconds, for example, then that is the same as presenting to that organism a whole series of different input frequencies individually.
		Exposing an organism to a two-pulse procedure would result in the cancellation of the zeros in the frequency domain version of the input because valid data is provided by one pulse duration or the other at every point across the spectrum.
		An important aspect of the behavior of organisms is the degree to which it follows all the small transitions in the contingencies of reinforcement or the degree to which is smoothes over the fine details.

	UCMP Glossary: Ecology
		Anaerobic organisms do not require oxygen for their life processes, in fact oxygen is toxic to many of them.
		An organism that lives on or within a host (another organism); it obtains nutrients from the host without benefiting or killing (although it may damage) the host; parasitic- adj.; parasitism- n.
		A relationship between two organisms that live in intimate contact with each other; includes mutualism (both organisms benefit, they rely on each other for survival), parasitism (one organism benefits at its host's expense) and commensalism (one partner benefits and the other is neither benefitted nor harmed); symbiotic- adj.

	NPR : A Distinct Human Organism
		Whether produced by fertilization or cloning, the human embryo is a complete and distinct human organism possessing all of the genetic material needed to inform and organize its growth, as well as an active disposition to develop itself using that information.
		Unlike the embryo, the sperm and egg whose union brings a human being into existence are not complete organisms.
		They are destined either to combine to generate a new and distinct organism or simply die.

	Pragmatism and Umwelt-theory
		Organisms know the difference between good and bad changes, and this knowledge arose from their experience in previous generations.
		Reproductive value of an organism of a particular age is equal to its contribution to the growth of the entire population.
		In a linear model of population growth, the reproductive value of organisms is equal to the left eigenvector of the matrix that describes population dynamics.

		Both pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains of the organism are normal inhabitants of marine and estuarine environments of the United States.
		It is unknown how the organism causes the illness, although an enterotoxin is suspected as well as an invasive mechanism.
		Disease is caused when the organism attaches itself to the small intestine of infected individuals and perhaps subsequently invades.

	Alert! New Life Threatening Organism
		Energetically, the organism appears to be in 95% of the population (and may be physically manifesting as symptoms in up to 60% of the population.) It has the potential of affecting up to 100%.
		We believe the organism has the ability to mutate existing parasites in the body which will be identified as the problem.
		Had I been unaware of the organism, I would have been motivated to rush to the doctor; as a friend of mine did, she was informed that her kidney was 15% functional and told she would die if she did not allow them to remove her kidney.

	RedOrbit - Health - Trichomonas Vaginalis: Paradigm of a Successful Sexually Transmitted Organism
		It is thought that the organism divides by binary fission, and is 7-32 m long by 5-12 m in width.17 T. vaginalis can be oval to pear- shaped, but an amoeboid shape is evident in parasites adhering to mammalian cells,18 with an undulating membrane along one side and four anterior flagella.
		To be able to survive in the female genital tract, this organism must overcome the fluid flow barrier, infiltrate the mucus bathing the vaginal epithelial cells, maintain a micro-environment of the appropriate pH and have the ability to evade the immune system.
		The organism lacks enzymes required to synthesise DNA de novo, and therefore must have quick access to DNA as a source of nucleotides before replication can occur.42 This is achieved via physical contact and lysis of the human cells or by degradation of fungal, microbial or leucocyte DNA.

	[Regents Prep Living Environment] Ecology: Organism Relationships
		One example of an organism interaction is that of a producer/consumer relationship.
		In this situation, the parasite feeds upon the tissues or fluids or another organism, but usually does not kill the organism it feeds upon, as this would destroy its food supply.
		Decomposer organisms use the energy of dead organisms for food and break them down into materials which can be recycled for use by other organisms.

		The organism is the bacterium Carsonella rudii, which lives as an endosymbiont inside a small insect.
		Scientists think that this happened to the organism that evolved hundreds of millions years ago into the mitochondria that now serve as thousands of cellular powerplants in each animal cell including humans.
		If "industrial organisms" can be designed to be too fragile to survive outside the artificial environment they were designed for, then the risk of them escaping into the wider world and proliferating is greatly reduced.

	PRINCIPLES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
		Biotechnology can be broadly defined as "using living organisms or their products for commercial purposes." As such, biotechnology has been practiced by human society since the beginning of recorded history in such activities as baking bread, brewing alcoholic beverages, or breeding food crops or domestic animals.
		All living organisms are composed of cells that contain a substance called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the chromosomes.
		DNA from all living organisms is the same, except for the sequence and number of letters in the "recipe." Therefore, traits can be transferred from one organism into another by transferring the DNA genes for those traits.

	Smallest Organism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Let's define an organism as a living thing that is able to live independent of other organisms, that has a metabolism, and that reproduces with offspring identical to the parent.
		However, when you include organisms that live as parasites on, or in, others, then viruses are included, and these are much smaller than bacteria.
		They have a metabolism, they have DNA or RNA for reproduction (although they use the machinery of their involuntary host cells to do so), their offspring is identical to the parents.

		This is done in an effort to alter an organism's characteristics, such as a tomato having pieces of arctic flounder DNA in order to prevent frost damage, or rice having pieces of daffodil DNA in order to increase vitamin A levels.
		Such intervention must not be confused with previous intrusions upon the natural order of living organisms, [which] work within single or closely related species [as opposed to tomatoes sharing genes with fish, rice sharing genes with daffodils][p.50-51].
