The process of destroying some, but all microorgansm using heat or antiseptics is known assterilization. Explanation: Sterilization is a process in which bacteria or other microorganisms are killed with the help of chemicals or heat. It is done to keep the surface safe and clean. When all micr...

1.(Medicine) a suspension of dead, attenuated, or otherwise modified microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, or rickettsiae) for inoculation to produce immunity to a disease by stimulating the production of antibodies 2.(Medicine) (originally) a preparation of the virus of cowpox taken from infected cow...
the dangerous residue of nuclear explosions and the nuclear power industry; noxious fumes of smog blanket every major city; carcinogenic synthetic pesticides have been detected in mothers milk all over the world; great forests have been cut down, destroying ecological niches and their resident species...
[146]. Biomineralization serves as a detoxification mechanism for microorganisms, reducing heavy metal ions into nanoparticles. Numerous types of metal nanoparticles have been reported to be formed through biomineralization [147,148]. Through a simple biomineralization process, a biocompatible and ...
Such a joint microbially produced and abiotic Fe3+ pull acts effectively as an oxidizing agent and facilitate the further process of metal mobilization, thus destroying the meteorite structure. Moreover, manganese biooxidation could also implement in NWA 7034 elemental dissolution mediated by M. ...
Plasmids are autonomous genetic elements that can be exchanged between microorganisms via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Despite the central role they play in antibiotic resistance and modern biotechnology, our understanding of plasmids’ natural ecology is limited. Recent experiments have shown that plas...
Defensins are a class of small (15-20 residues) cationic proteins rich in cysteine. They are amphoteric molecules that can bind to bacterial cell membranes and form transmembrane ion channels, destroying the integrity of the membranes and causing cell contents to leak, thus killing bacteria[23]....
At any rate, the observation of an increased proportion of cancer drivers on the two deepest metazoan branches clearly supports the argument that cancer can be considered as a process of destroying the genetic network that evolved for the development and maintenance of multicellularity. Loss-of-...
Targeted therapies are studied to avoid destroying healthy cells. New possibilities are emerging for the synthesis of non-toxic AgNPs and those with toxic properties when needed. In recent years, the number of applications and the amount of nanosilver used has increased significantly. AgNPs have ...
