Sentence examples for charge of microorganisms from inspiring English sources

Several groups [ 9, 43, 44] observed that photosensitizer charge and structure might be important factors in determining the success of antimicrobial PDT, especially when applied on negative surface charge of microorganisms like Gram-negative bacteria.

TiO2 carries a positive charge while the surface of microorganisms carry negative charges resulting in an electromagnetic attraction between microorganisms and the TiO2 NPs which leads to oxidation reactions.

It is reported that the positive charge on the silver ion is the reason for antimicrobial activity as it can attract the negatively charged cell membrane of microorganisms through the electrostatic interaction (Dibrov et al. [2002]; Hamouda et al. [2000]).

A cationic domain of these peptides specifically interacts with the negatively charged outer surfaces of microorganisms and a hydrophobic domain is required for membrane perturbation or penetration, causing either membrane disruption or translocation into the cell [ 20, 21].

Being cationic in nature, AMPs show strong interaction with negatively charged components of lipidic membranes of microorganisms leading to the formation of ion channels and transmembrane pores (10).

From the equivalent circuit used to interpret EIS data the charge transfer resistance RCT is sensitive to attachment of microorganisms.

Chitosan is a polymer derived from crustacean exoskeletons that binds to and disrupts the cell wall and membrane of microorganisms due to its cationic charge in weakly acidic environments.

In addition, previous studies characterizing P. taiwanensis found that the surface charge of the bacteria could efficiently aggregate microorganisms with the raw materials for papermaking [ 21], suggesting that P. taiwanensis may change the fermentation microenvironment by affecting the contact between the cellulose substrates and bacteria in the consortium.

Very recently, Erbay et al. reported that microbes grown over CNTs result in excellent charge transfer characteristics due to (pi)–(pi) stacking between the carbon atoms of graphite and the pili (a cellular outgrowth) of microorganisms [39].

The potential of microorganisms is almost infinite.

…medium for the growth of microorganisms.
