  2. Bacterial taxonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_taxonomy

    For subclass and class the recommendation from [118] is generally followed, resulting in a neutral plural, however a few names do not follow this and instead keep into account graeco-latin grammar (e.g. the female plurals Thermotogae, Aquificae and Chlamydiae, the male plurals Chloroflexi, Bacilli and Deinococci and the greek plurals ...

  3. Microbiological culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiological_culture

    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 .

  4. Cell culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_culture

    Cell culture is a fundamental component of tissue culture and tissue engineering, as it establishes the basics of growing and maintaining cells in vitro. The major application of human cell culture is in stem cell industry, where mesenchymal stem cells can be cultured and cryopreserved for future use. Tissue engineering potentially offers ...

  5. Bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria

    Bacteria can be classified on the basis of cell structure, cellular metabolism or on differences in cell components, such as DNA, fatty acids, pigments, antigens and quinones. [120] While these schemes allowed the identification and classification of bacterial strains, it was unclear whether these differences represented variation between ...

  6. Bacterial cellular morphologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_cellular...

    [2] [3] [4] Coccus refers to the shape of the bacteria and can contain multiple genera, such as staphylococci or streptococci. Cocci can grow in pairs, chains, or clusters, depending on their orientation and attachment during cell division. In contrast to many bacilli-shaped bacteria, most cocci bacteria do not have flagella and are non-motile. [5]

  7. Multiplicity of infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_of_infection

    In microbiology, the multiplicity of infection or MOI is the ratio of agents (e.g. phage or more generally virus, bacteria) to infection targets (e.g. cell).For example, when referring to a group of cells inoculated with virus particles, the MOI is the ratio of the number of virus particles to the number of target cells present in a defined space.

  8. Viral plaque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_plaque

    The virus will replicate and spread, generating regions of cell destruction known as plaques. For example, Vero cell or other tissue cultures may be used to investigate an influenza virus or coronavirus, while various bacterial cultures would be used for bacteriophages. [1] [2] Counting the number of plaques can be used as a method of virus ...

  9. Subculture (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subculture_(biology)

    Line of T175 cell culture flasks containing red cell culture medium. In biology, a subculture is either a new cell culture or a microbiological culture made by transferring some or all cells from a previous culture to fresh growth medium. This action is called subculturing or passaging the cells. Subculturing is used to prolong the lifespan and ...
