Nutrient agar is the main growth media used for the isolation of a wide range of bacteria from various sources. It may also promote fungal growth, but the growth is limited due to the high pH of the nutrient agar media. Nutrient agar is a solid medium. The main components of nutrient ag...
This process breaks down the collagen into gelatin, which is then dried and powdered. Plant-derived gelatin is made mainly from seaweed. Gelatin is composed of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. These amino acids are essential for many bodily functions, including muscle ...
It is a viscous outermost layer surrounding the cell wall. It is composed of either polysaccharides or polypeptides of both (~2%) and water (~98%). They are present only in some species of bacteria. The capsule is of 2 types; macro-capsule (capsule with a thickness of 0.2 μm or more...
The process through which bodies of water lose water is what? What structure in a plant cell prevents lysis? What are the main nitrogen-containing nutrients in the biosphere? What type of chemical reaction is digestion of food? What are plant cell walls composed of? What role does nutrition ...
What is meant by fungi? Fungi are eukaryotic, non-phototrophic living organisms with rigid cell walls. Examples are microorganisms such as yeasts, molds, and mushrooms Is fungi a higher plant? No, fungi are heterotrophic organisms and have cell walls composed of chitin, while higher plants are ...
What are the metabolic products that are contributing to the change of the agar? a) Why do anabolic and catabolic pathways differ? b) Why is the pathway for the biosynthesis of a biomolecule at least partially different than the pathway for its catabolism? c) Why is the pathway for...
that can distinguish the seagrasses from other aquatic plants. The only character in which most of them differ from the other aquatic plants is the filiform pollen or the strings of spherical pollen. However, it is not known what the special advantage of these may be for life in the marine...
(Rao et al.2016). Under the cortex is the germ cell wall with a PG structure identical to that in the growing cell wall. Then comes the IM, which is composed of phospholipids and fatty acids similar to those found in the growing cell plasma membrane. However, lipid probes in the spore...
Introduction China's rapid urbanization fueled by the economic boom of the last three decades has transformed an agrarian society in many parts of China into an urbanized one at such a short time and large scale [1,2]. It is an unprecedented event in human history, which has attracted the...
This disease is more aggressive toward jackfruits with a sweeter flavor and high Brix composition. Symptoms are observable when the fruit is cut open, indicated by the appearance of rusty specks and yellowish-orange to reddish discoloration of the infected pulps and rags. Extensive research is ...
