<br>So far so goodA lot of sentences don't have enough space between the period and first word of the new sentence so you may want to go back through and check that out. Also, in your "It is in the genes" section, Where you begin talking about the chromosomes and genes the wording gets a little confusing and hard to understandThere is a lot of interesting information in this section; you might want to tie it in more directly with your topic and give a brief statement about how each of its particular characteristics allow it to act in bioremediation. For example, you mentioned that it contains a plasmid: what genes are encoded within the plasmid?  And how might these specific genes be useful? Why are they in the plasmid and not contained in the main chromosome? Also, in your introduction, it would be useful if you had a subheading specifically about bioremediation and what it is. I liked the sectioning off and detailing of the major functions of the bacteria (Hydrogen prod., nanoparticle synthesis, etc.) It might help with the organization to place them into a larger subheading though. I can show you how to make heading and subheadings if you're interested--its really easy!  Really interesting information and interesting topic!

Classification

Domain; Phylum; Class; Order; family [Others may be used. Use NCBI link to find]

Species

NCBI: Taxonomy

Genus species

Description and Significance

Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.

Genome Structure

Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?


Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle

Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.


Ecology and Pathogenesis

Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
