  2. Swarming motility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarming_motility

    Swarming motility is a rapid (2–10 μm/s) and coordinated translocation of a bacterial population across solid or semi-solid surfaces, [1] and is an example of bacterial multicellularity and swarm behaviour.

  3. Climate change and infectious diseases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_and...

    Global warming projections indicate that surface air warming for a "high scenario" is 4 C, with a likely range of 2.4–6.4 C by 2100. [25] A temperature increase of this size would alter the biology and the ecology of many mosquito vectors and the dynamics of the diseases they transmit such as malaria.

  4. Microbiological culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiological_culture

    Microbial cultures on solid and liquid media. A microbiological culture, or microbial culture, is a method of multiplying microbial organisms by letting them reproduce in predetermined culture medium under controlled laboratory conditions. Microbial cultures are foundational and basic diagnostic methods used as research tools in molecular biology.

  5. Effects of climate change on human health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change...

    The effects of climate change on human health are profound because they increase heat-related illnesses and deaths, respiratory diseases, and the spread of infectious diseases. There is widespread agreement among researchers, health professionals and organizations that climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. [1] [2]

  6. Effects of climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change

    Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...

  7. Microbial ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_ecology

    Microorganisms form mutualistic relationship with other microorganism, plants or animals. One example of microbe-microbe interaction would be syntrophy, also known as cross-feeding, [49] of which Methanobacterium omelianskii is a classical example. [52] [53] This consortium is formed by an ethanol fermenting organism and a methanogen.

  8. Climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

    In the 1980s, the terms global warming and climate change became more common, often being used interchangeably. [29] [30] [31] Scientifically, global warming refers only to increased surface warming, while climate change describes both global warming and its effects on Earth's climate system, such as precipitation changes. [28]

  9. Methanotroph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanotroph

    Methanotrophs can be either bacteria or archaea. Which methanotroph species is present is mainly determined by the availability of electron acceptors. Many types of methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB) are known. Differences in the method of formaldehyde fixation and membrane structure divide these bacterial methanotrophs into several groups.
