(A) Representative colony morphologies of the M. tuberculosis strain containing empty plasmid pJR962 and recombinant plasmid pJR962-A10ZJ24 gp48 on 7H10 agar plates, with or without induction with ...

Other than the soft agar colony formation assays, all experiments were non-randomized, and the investigators were not blinded to allocation during experiments and outcome assessment. Statistics were ...

Mycoprotein, a filamentous fungi-based protein substitute for traditional meat products, plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security. While genetic manipulation of mycoprotein-producing ...

Bacterial colony formations exhibit diverse morphologies and dynamics. A mechanistic understanding of this process has broad implications to ecology and medicine. However, many control factors and ...

Fungal colonies form on the surface of the agar as molds. This is the main distinction between colonies of bacteria and fungi. Colony morphologies are helpful in bacterial and fungal recognition and ...

However, in soft-agar colony formation assay, GPR35 overexpression consistently promoted colony-forming ability, especially colony size (Figures 1A–F). Consistently, GPR35 knock-down reduced both ...

Phase Variation Is Readily Observed in Cultures Capable of Forming Biofilm When streaking LVS biofilm forming cultures from long term freezer stocks onto a chocolate agar plate, it became clear that ...
