The purpose of this practical is to investigate the effect of antiseptics or antibiotics on bacterial growth using agar plates and measuring zones of inhibition. This allows the selected bacteria ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE biology students studying vaccinations, herd immunity, antibiotics and painkillers, antibiotic resistance, bacterial growth in cultures ...

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 ...

From here, the bacteria was left to grow, filling the logos with unusual forms and shapes. Unfortunately for Collicott, the growth needed to be photographed on a very regular basis. This meant going ...

Fairburn explains that in the absence of an active anti-phage defence, viral infections inhibit bacterial growth and cause a ...

The team also observed that the microbes in lake samples responded differently to the presence of the leachate. That is, bacteria in samples with an initially low concentration of dissolved organic ...

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 ...
