Cyanobacteria, a type of bacteria, played an important role in the history of Earth and in ocean processes, including the development of stromatolites (see photograph on page 80). Living in colonies, the cyanobacteria produced oxygen during the process of photosynthesis, which generated the oxygen ...

Non-hemolytic denotes the ability of bacterial colonies to induce the breakdown of red blood cells. True | False 7. There are bacterial colonies that produce comma-shaped projections from the colony edge, leading to the so-called Medusa head. True | False 8. A Gram-positive bacteria are ...
Coccus bacteria, known as cocci, are oval-shaped or spherical bacteria. When cocci divide or reproduce they create different patterns, depending on the type. Types of coccus bacteria include Diplococcus bacteria, Streptococcus bacteria, Staphylococcus bacteria and Enterococcus bacteria. They are named d...
Microorganisms are found in each of the three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Microbes within the domains Bacteria and Archaea are all prokaryotes (their cells lack a nucleus), whereas microbes in the domain Eukarya are eukaryotes (their cells have a nucleus). Some microorganisms...
They can be unicellular, filamentous or occur in colonies. The filament has mucin covering. There are no flagella for locomotion of bacteria. Their cells are larger than normal bacterial cells. Their cell wall is multi layered. It includes peptidoglycan and there are photosynthetic pigments in ...
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and their CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins are adaptive immune systems of bacteria and archaea that operate against parasitic mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as phages1. Their function centers around short RNAs that guide Cas effec...

The colony collapse disorder of the last years seems to differ from past outbreaks: The worker bees disappear instead of dying in place, leaving behind the queen and young bees. High levels of bacteria, viruses, and fungi are measured in the gut of the remaining bees. Collapses can occur wi...
Titration of bacteria Mice were infected with 2 × 103 CFU WT Listeria monocytogenes by injecting them subcutaneously into the footpads. At the indicated times following infection, draining popliteal LNs were collected and dissolved in 0.1% Triton X-100/phosphate-buffered saline. Cell lysates were se...
