Under ideal conditions, bacterial cell proliferation is exponential, transforming an empty Petri dish into a lush “lawn” of growth. However, as a bacterial colony develops, “growing pains” are ...

In this form, they can share nutrients and genetic information. Indeed, Schwartzman had previously observed that V. splendidus clump up when suspended in liquid media, but the colonies that the ...

Over the next few sessions in lab you will be learning how to isolate bacterial colonies into individual species. This allows for the creation of a pure culture, a culture of bacteria containing only ...

Researchers discovered lariocidin, a lasso peptide antibiotic that kills multidrug-resistant bacteria by binding a novel ...

If we count the number of individual colonies of bacteria on the plates, it is possible to estimate the numbers of individual bacteria in the original sample. In order to make an accurate ...
