Only some bacteria are capable of obtaining energy by "burning" inorganic chemicals.
1928 English bacteriologist Frederick Griffith conducted experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information and that such transformation is heritable.
Pseudomonas bacteria are capable of using almost any organic molecule as a source of carbon and energy, provided only that the molecule is at least slightly soluble in water.
However, only few bacteria are capable of synthesizing vitamin B12 (Sun et al., 2003).
Indole acetic acid-producing and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria are capable of stimulating plant growth (Das and Tiwary 2014).
Bacteria are capable of precipitating calcium carbonate by providing heterogeneous crystal nucleation sites in super-saturated CaCO3 solution.
This may be due to the fact that bacteria (especially spore-forming bacteria) are capable of re-growth when conditions become favourable.
However, these bacteria are capable of synthesizing and releasing many neurotransmitters and neuromodulators themselves, or evoke the synthesis and release of neuropeptides from enteroendocrine cells.
Experiments demonstrated that within specify ranges in the inoculate, the rhizospheric bacteria are capable of increasing the yield of germinated seeds and stimulate the growth of plantlets.
Methanotrophic bacteria are capable of converting methane into microbial lipids, which can in turn be converted into renewable diesel via a hydrotreating process.
In this study, we explored bacterial tropism for infarcted myocardium based on our previous observations that certain bacteria are capable of targeting the hypoxic regions in solid tumors.
