Scanning thermal microscopy ( SThM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that maps the local temperature and thermal conductivity of an interface. The probe in a scanning thermal microscope is sensitive to local temperatures – providing a nano-scale thermometer. Thermal measurements at the nanometer scale are of both scientific and ...
Escherichia virus T4 is a species of bacteriophages that infect Escherichia coli bacteria. It is a double-stranded DNA virus in the subfamily Tevenvirinae of the family Straboviridae . T4 is capable of undergoing only a lytic life cycle and not the lysogenic life cycle .
Genes in E. coli are usually named in accordance with the uniform nomenclature proposed by Demerec et al. [65] Gene names are 3-letter acronyms that derive from their function (when known) or mutant phenotype and are italicized. When multiple genes have the same acronym, the different genes are designated by a capital later that follows the ...
The largest adults may reach a body length of 1.5 mm (0.059 in), the smallest below 0.1 mm (0.0039 in). ... Video of tardigrade under the microscope Living ...
Listeria monocytogenes. (E. Murray et al. 1926) Pirie 1940. Listeria monocytogenes is the species of pathogenic bacteria that causes the infection listeriosis. It is a facultative anaerobic bacterium, capable of surviving in the presence or absence of oxygen. It can grow and reproduce inside the host's cells and is one of the most virulent ...
Saccharomyces cerevisiae ( / ˌsɛrəˈvɪsi.iː /) ( brewer's yeast or baker's yeast) is a species of yeast (single-celled fungal microorganisms). The species has been instrumental in winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is believed to have been originally isolated from the skin of grapes.
Streptococcus thermophilus formerly known as Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus[ 2][ 1] is a gram-positive bacterium, and a fermentative facultative anaerobe, of the viridans group. [ 3] It tests negative for cytochrome, oxidase, and catalase, and positive for alpha-hemolytic activity. [ 3] It is non-motile and does not form ...
Enterococcus. Enterococcus is a large genus of lactic acid bacteria of the phylum Bacillota. Enterococci are gram-positive cocci that often occur in pairs ( diplococci) or short chains, and are difficult to distinguish from streptococci on physical characteristics alone. [ 2] Two species are common commensal organisms in the intestines of ...
