As the microbes attach to the antibodies, the interference pattern changes.
Once the seed is planted, the microbes attach to the epidermis of the corn's root where they then begin to colonize, eventually forming a continuous nitrogen feeding loop with the plant.
Yet, not all cellulolytic bacteria produce cellulosomes and very little is known regarding the mechanisms by which these non-cellulosome producing microbes attach to and degrade cellulose (Lynd et al. 2006).
Identification of microbes attached to artificial substrates in a hypereutrophic urban river revealed a complex microbial community structure.
However, results of cell counts from our study documented significant differences in the number of microbes attached on artificial substrates between sampling days 7 and 14 (Fig. 2).
To examine the effects of NaCl concentration on anode microbes in MFCs, we first analyzed the total protein content of anode samples as a surrogate measure of the abundance of microbes attached to the anodes.
Recent experiments targeted at the turbid river declared that the denitrifying bacterial activity in suspended sediment was twice that of the bed sediment because the substrates in water were more accessible for microbes attached on particles [58].
Biodegradation of oil in this study implies shrinkage of oil droplets by microbes attached to the droplet surface (Figure 1), which consumes oxygen and oil while at the same time produces carbon dioxide and water.
In the case of Curiosity, there might be microbes attached to the robot that survived the NASA clean room, the vacuum of space, and the Martian atmosphere.
Although embryonic macrophages did not respond to wounding, they were clearly able to recognise and engulf microbes attached to the blood vessel walls (Fig. 4; supplementary material Movie 3).
As the HPC 2,3-dioxygenase (HpaD) requires molecular oxygen, utilization of the HPC meta-cleavage pathway is restricted to distinct intestinal habitats, for instance ones in close proximity to epithelial cells, where oxygen molecules might pass from the blood to the microbes attached to the epithelium [ 40].
