Researchers at the University of Bayreuth and Forschungszentrum Jülich have demonstrated that specific light-sensitive ...

Analyze the clustering behavior of nuclei in 3D images. The centers of the nuclei are detected. The nuclei are filtered by the presence of a signal in a different channel. The clustering is done with ...

The roots of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination go back to the early 1900s. Since then, the test has undergone modifications and advancements in an effort to increase its ...

Sanitizing hospital rooms with human effort is not an easy task. It increases the chances of contracting infection, leading to further spread of harmful microorganisms The UV sanitization robot uses ...

Nanopore sequencing is promising because of its long read length and high speed. During sequencing, a strand of DNA/RNA passes through a biological nanopore, which causes the current in the pore to ...

Motility is a key feature for the success of microorganisms, as it allows the movement to optimal growth environments. Bacteria and archaea possess filamentous motility structures capable of rotation.

Many bacteria are adapted for attaching to surfaces and for building complex communities, termed biofilms. The biofilm mode of life is predominant in bacterial ecology. So too is the exposure of ...

Biological evolution in a biofilm—a conglomerate of microorganisms adhering to a surface—can be undesirable, resulting in antibiotic resistance or the disruption of genetically engineered bacterial ...
