The phrase "a population of microorganisms" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or academic contexts when discussing groups of microorganisms in microbiology, ecology, or related fields.
Example: "The study focused on a population of microorganisms found in the soil, which play a crucial role in nutrient cycling."
Alternatives: "a group of microbes" or "a community of microorganisms."
In this paper, we introduced a conceptual design of a distributed classifier in the form of a population of microorganisms containing a strategically constructed library of sensory gene circuits.
Hence, there is a need to develop a therapeutic approach that would (i) increase the sensitivity of the microorganism to already established methods (e.g., antibiotic therapies) by violating the structure of the biofilm or disturbing the communication between a population of microorganisms in the biofilm or (ii) combine several modes of microbicidal action to achieve a synergistic effect.
According to ISO 11737 1 2006 for the sterilization of medical devices, both of the content including determination of a population of microorganisms on product and tests of sterility performed in the validation of a sterilization process was not determined as our practical culture method which was designed before the documentation of ISO 11737 1 and ISO 15883 4.
Anti-infective resistance is defined as the ability of a population of microorganism cells to neutralize the toxic effect of an anti-infective (Suling and O'Leary 1975).
Frequently the manufacturer uses a "starter culture"—a commercial population of microorganisms already known to produce a good product.
Although some metagenomics studies opt to sequence all of the nucleic acid extracted from a sample regardless of its origin, others adopt a focused strategy in which only a select population of microorganisms (bacteria or viruses) or a specific nucleic acid population (DNA or RNA) is targeted.
In subsequent cycles, the growth rate decreased, and contrary to the first cycle, less availability of nitrogen source for a higher population of microorganisms decelerated the growth.
Results from the clone libraries (Table IV) and culturing results do not clearly indicate a significant population of microorganisms that directly utilizes intermediate sulfur species.
Culture based methods are usually used to investigate biochemical and genetic diversity by selecting a particular population of microorganisms [ 9].
The cumulative fraction of response (CFR) determines the likely success of treatment by comparing the pharmacodynamic exposure (PTA) against the MIC distribution of a specific population of microorganisms [ 18].
In such situations, it appears useful to borrow the principles underlying the distributed classification abilities of natural adaptive immune system and create a heterogeneous population of microorganisms with different synthetic gene circuits capable of performing classification tasks based on consensus strategy.
