Agar is used in the food industry due to its stabilizing, gelling, and emulsifying properties. It does not contain any gluten, and it is used as a thickener, and importantly it’s very nourishing. Agar is also employed in numerous vegan and dairy-free recipes and acts as a thickener in ...
What is an antibiotic in terms of microbiology? What types of bacteria are inhibited on MacConkey agar, and what type of contamination does this plate usually help to identify? What type of genomes do bacterial and archaeal organisms have? Do bacterial cells require vitamin B12 for cell division...
It has been indicated that ThT binds to prefibrillar aggregates that contain the β-sheet groove binding site. According to the study, the binding site of prefibrillar aggregates of the β-sheet structure has lower (ThT) fluorescence intensity than fibrils. However, the (ThT) fluorescence of ...
Histopathology is reportedly the most sensitive of the conventional onychomycosis diagnostic methods; however, as with KOH, it does not provide the identity or viability of the organism [9,10]. Submission of a nail plate alone may not detect nail bed infection. Fungal culture attempts to grow ...

does not reflect on what it means to work as a platform. We deem it useful to explore ‘platform’ as a concept because it hints at both stability and flexibility (Baldwin and Woodard, 2009). The word platform is originally borrowed from French and hints at the level (plate)surface (...
What types of bacteria are inhibited on MacConkey agar, and what type of contamination does this plate usually help to identify? In which organisms would you expect to find endotoxins? a. prions b. viroids c. viruses d. Gram-positive bacteria e. none of th...
What is the significance of finding pink colonies growing on MacConkey agar from a water sample? What is the importance of bacteria in the soil? How is the pH scale used around the house? What is the importance of algae? Why is it important to use a control plate and stab t...
agar growth medium. That's the first step in this subculture process. By using a specific technique you can spread the microorganisms more thinly as you progress across the plate. Ideally, you end up spreading the microorganisms so thinly they form tiny, distinct colonies on the agar plate--...
[34] in a recent meta-analysis of tracheal aspirate surveillance concluded that such an approach has a high negative predictive value, i.e., if a recent surveillance culture does not contain MDROs, the newly symptomatic VAP is unlikely to be caused by MDROs (likelihood <10 %). However, ...
