Sentence examples for microbial cell growth from inspiring English sources

There are a number of reports on the influence of CO2 on microbial cell growth in shake-flask culture (Repaske et al. 1971; Repaske and Clayton 1978; Kato and Tanaka 1998).

Furthermore, the increased protease activity at the end of hydrolysis could be explained by the stagnating microbial cell growth due to a lack of substrate, resulting in the digestion of protein-rich cell debris.

It was clear that the biodegradation activity of microbial cell/Fe3O4 biocomposites increased gradually during the recycling processes, which may be due to that more microbial cells was immobilized by Fe3O4 nanoparticles with the microbial cell growth and reproduction.

In this study, Bacillus licheniformis 421 was used as a model organism to understand the effects of microbial cell growth and metabolite production under anaerobic conditions in relation to microbial enhanced oil recovery.

A second challenge with trying to ferment biomass derived sugars is the presence and production of inhibitors which can cause the slowing or cessation of microbial cell growth, reduced ethanol productivity and low ethanol yield (Palmqvist and Hahn-Hägerdal 2000, Klinke et al. 2004, Almeida et al. 2007, Almeida et al. 2011).

The MTBE biodegradation rate increased three-fold from a mean of 6.6 ± 1.6 μg/L/day in uncontaminated aquifer microcosms for subsequent additions of MTBE, suggesting an increasing biodegradation capability, due to microbial cell growth and increased biomass after repeated exposure to MTBE.

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by microbial cells during growth play a crucial role in immobilizing heavy metals (Comte et al. 2008; Francois et al. 2012) and consequently protect cells from deleterious effects of toxic metals.

Miscible-displacement experiments were conducted to examine the impact of microbial lag and bacterial cell growth on the transport of salicylate, a model hydrocarbon compound.

The active performance of the developed material towards microbial resistivity, in vitro cell growth and as a scaffold for enzyme immobilizing matrix illustrates its unique implementation.

Sawai et al. attributed the antimicrobial action of zinc oxide powder slurry to the liberation of hydrogen peroxide; they suggested that hydrogen peroxide crosses the microbial cell membrane, resulting in growth inhibition or destruction [2].

Members of this family have been linked to obesity and protection from colon cancer in humans, mainly due to the association of many species within the group with the production of butyric acid, a substance that is important for both microbial and host epithelial cell growth.
