Since it contains a high water content and vital nutrients, it becomes an easy target for microbial growth. Synthetic ...

Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel ...

Bacteria control the homeostasis of membrane ... the phospholipid bilayer to minimize energy expenditure and optimize growth. Figure 1: Conserved pathway for the formation of phosphatidic acid ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for successfully encapsulating bacteria that can then be stored and applied to plants to improve plant growth and protect against pests and pathogens. The ...

This technique, known as laser-induced surface texturing, also alters the metal's water-repellent properties, which are key in bacterial growth. Laser-textured surfaces possess antibacterial ...
