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 from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created nanostructured alumina surfaces which are strongly antibacterial ...

New nanostructured alumina surfaces offer unprecedented antibacterial resistance, fostering safer cell culture environments ...

When more favorable conditions arise the endospore germinates, again forming a viable vegetative cell. The presence of endospores in a bacterial culture can be detected by staining with malachite ...

A team of researchers recently published a report on a drug that significantly reduces the ability of bacteria to evolve antibiotic resistance, both in laboratory cultures and in live animal models.

The surfaces “may enable the production of high-quality cell cultures without bacterial contamination and without the use of antibiotics.” ...
