    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_model_organisms

    Bacteria: Escherichia coli (E. coli), common Gram-negative gut bacterium widely used in molecular genetics. Main lab strain is 'K-12'. Bacillus subtilis, endospore forming Gram-positive bacterium. Main lab strain is '168'. Caulobacter crescentus, bacterium that divides into two distinct cells used to study cellular differentiation.

  3. External combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_combustion_engine

    Dual-phase external combustion engines use a phase transition to convert temperature to usable work, for example from liquid to (generally much larger) gas. This type of engine follows variants of the Rankine cycle. Steam engines are a common example of dual-phase engines. Another example is engines that use the Organic Rankine cycle.

  4. Plant microbiome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_microbiome

    The focus of plant microbiome studies has been directed at model plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, as well as important economic crop species including barley (Hordeum vulgare), corn (Zea mays), rice (Oryza sativa), soybean (Glycine max), wheat (Triticum aestivum), whereas less attention has been given to fruit crops and tree species.

  5. Flagellum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellum

    The engine is powered by proton-motive force, i.e., by the flow of protons (hydrogen ions) across the bacterial cell membrane due to a concentration gradient set up by the cell's metabolism (Vibrio species have two kinds of flagella, lateral and polar, and some are driven by a sodium ion pump rather than a proton pump [26]). The rotor ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamod

    The SR1 steam roller was Mamod's inaugural mobile steam toy, debuting in January 1961 and designed by Eric Malins. Initially, the rollers could only move in a single direction at a relatively slow speed, deviating from typical steam roller functionality. These engines utilized a modified MM2 steam unit and distinctive rolls made of aluminum alloy.

  7. Model organism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_organism

    Escherichia coli is a gram-negative prokaryotic model organism Drosophila melanogaster, one of the most famous subjects for genetics experiments Saccharomyces cerevisiae, one of the most intensively studied eukaryotic model organisms in molecular and cell biology. A model organism is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand ...

    When the virus replicates faster than the immune system can control, it can destroy cells and harm the body, and it can even incite an over-zealous immune reaction that can cause other damage.

  9. Plant stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem_cell

    Traditionally, plant stem cells were thought to only exist in SAM and RAM and studies were conducted based on this assumption. However, recent studies have indicated that (pro)cambium also serves as a niche for plant stem cells: "Procambium cells fulfill the criteria for being stem cells since they have the capacity for long-term self renewal and being able to differentiate into one or more ...
