follow a reproducible growth pattern referred to as the growth curve. An example of a batch culture in nature is a pond in which a small number of cells grow in a closed environment. The culture density is defi
However, some fungi, including A. fumigatus, evolved mechanisms to grow in natural high-temperature niches such as (self-heating) compost heaps [25], [26], [40]. This can be considered a cross-adaptation to the human host. Similarly, it has been proposed that global warming may have ...
Introduction of such molecular studies began to enable industrial microbiologists to obviate a diverse range of technical challenges when working with filamentous fungi. As just one example, heterologous expression of a porcine pancreatic phospholipase gene inA. nigerby the lab of David Archer initially...
Interestingly, different spe- cies build rods in distinct ways. E. coli (a Gram-negative bacterium) and B. subtilis (Gram-positive) grow by inserting cell wall material along the length of the cylin- drical portion of the cell (Figure 1a) [4,5]. However, S. pombe [6], plant pollen...
How do greenhouse gases affect the growth rate of plants? In what ways might a filamentous growth form be advantageous? We are using cultures that have been grown overnight so they are already in log phase growth. What is the factor that could affect the lengt...
Like fungi, Steptomycetes form aerial hyphae that are structurally similar to fungal hyphae [46]. Therefore, Streptomycetes may be able to form “bacterial bridges” for their motile partner, but such interactions have not been reported yet. If such “bacterial bridges” do form, this would ...

Microorganisms (mainly lactic acid bacteria, Micrococcaceae, Bacilli, yeasts, and filamentous fungi) play a pivotal role in the pickling of foodstuffs while affecting the quality and safety of the final product. This review focuses on the common traditional fermented pickles and their nutritional, ...
How does Rhizopus grow on bread? Black bread mold (Rhizopus stolonifer) is a common type of fungus. It grows andreproducesthe same way that most molds do. In asexual reproduction, the mold makes spores inside a sporangium. When the spores are ready to leave and spread more mold, the spor...
It is highly conserved in animals and its central part of approximately 190 amino acid residues in length presents a β-sandwich fold. However, the fold differs from the currently known lectins in having α-helices and extensions of the β-sandwich arrangement. Four loops all located at one ...
