Microbiology is the study of organisms too small to see with the naked eye. Their small size means you can't go to a zoo or take a safari to study these creatures; you have to raise them yourself. Subculturing is one of the microbiological techniques that lets you raise them properly by...
Regulatory landscape around microplastics Microplastics are considered a great concern due to several reasons: • Plastic production is increasing year over year and their degradation process is very slow. Plastics can remain in the environment, particularly the marine environment, for centuries*. •...
A cult is a system of religious beliefs and rituals, often centered around a specific figure, while culture encompasses the social behaviors, norms, and practices of a group.
What is the value of petri plates in microbiology? What is bacterial culture in yogurt? What are some of the issues regarding the use of antibiotics? What causes bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics? What is a Streptococcus bacterial infection?
The fast technological advances of molecular tools have enabled us to uncover a new dimension hidden within parasites and their hosts: their microbiomes. Increasingly, parasitologists characterise host microbiome changes in the face of parasitic infections, revealing the potential of these microscopic fa...
(microbiology) The process of growing a bacterial or other biological entity in an artificial medium. Religion A strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny; He lost his faith but not his morality Culture The growth thus produced. I'm headed to the lab to make...
The petri dish on the left contains the natural koji mold, whereas the one on the right has been engineered to contain higher levels of a nutrient called ergothioneine and more heme – an iron-based molecule found in many organisms, but is especially abundant in animal tissues, which gives ...
Here, the individual holds phosphate-buffered saline (about 10mL) in his/her mouth for a minute. This is then concentrated using a centrifuge to obtain a good sample.· Pour the culture medium (SDA ) onto a clean Petri dish · Using a sterile wire loop of the cotton swab, inoculate the...
But researchers like Dr. Stanley Perlman, a University of Iowa pediatrician who studies microbiology and immunology, are studying coronaviruses other than COVID-19 to try to predict how immunity to COVID-19 will look. His theory, according to NPR, is that the body's immune response tracks ...
Sterile technique is the application of procedures to maintain sterility in an environment where contamination could create problems, like an operating room or a microbiology research facility. These procedures limit the chance of contamination and keep the workspace clean so any results obtained are ...
