Deadly outbreaks have plagued societies for centuries. But they can lead to medical breakthroughs—if we learn the right lessons from them.
perhaps one adult stem cell for every 100,000 surrounding cells. These stem cells look like the surrounding cells, so it's difficult to tell them apart. But researchers have developed an interesting way to identify them by "lighting them up." All cells have unique proteins on their surface ...
Streptomycetes are sessile bacteria that produce metabolites that impact the behavior of microbial communities. Emerging studies have demonstrated that Streptomyces spores are distributed through various mechanisms, but it remains unclear how spores are transported to their preferred microenvironments, such as...
a nutrient-rich agar is prepared and poured into aPetri dish. The sample is added to the dish and allowed to solidify at room temperature before being autoclaved at temperatures of between 20°C and 45°C. These mesophilic temperatures allow aerobic bacteria to thrive and...
Define the generation time for growth based on binary fission Identify and describe the activities of microorganisms undergoing typical phases of binary fission (simple cell division) in a growth curve Explain several laboratory methods used to determine viable and total cell counts in populations underg...
Bacteria typically feed by releasing enzymes into the water to break down their food into small enough pieces to be taken into the cell. However, by releasing these enzymes into the surrounding water, bacteria naturally lose some of the products of this process. While breaking down food externall...
Notice how human population has also been on an exponential trend: Are we humans smarter than yeast? Or will the graphic above of our population follow the overshoot and collapse graphic of the yeast? Unlike yeast, do we have any evolved psychological adaptations to help us to ...
What we need to be doing during our conversations on the 'net or in public is when we find a 'fellow traveler', rather than discuss how and who did 9/11, why not discuss what can we do to make more people aware something about 9/11 stinks? Does it really matter if both of you ...
