Like other microorganisms, free-living Candida albicans is mainly present in a three-dimensional multicellular structure, which is called a biofilm, rather than in a planktonic form.
S. cerevisiae is a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) microorganism, free of toxins hazardous to human health [ 52, 53].
As shown in panel B and C of Figure 3, cytometric analysis demonstrated a significant (P = 0,0286, Mann-Whitney test) increase of CD133+ population in Mycoplasma hyorhinis positive GEO cells compared to the same microorganism-free GEO control cells.
Of the Archaea sequencing projects to date, all of the selected microorganisms are free-living and have not been described as usually associated with a known host.
and biological damages (inflammations, microorganism infections, free radicals, nutrient deficiency, aging, stress, etc)., wounds considered as risk factors are able to be identified in almost all cancers in clinics.
As GIT is the first organ exposed to exogenous compound, microorganism and free radicals, other than the immune system, GIT is expected to possess high levels of endogenous antioxidants, which act to protect itself against free radicals and to filter out pro-oxidants from entering the circulation.
— Jeff Gordinier The New York Times: In Thursday's editions, three choice reads: an op-ed paean to our "old friends," the health-promoting microorganisms that come free with our dirty greenmarket produce; a Tool Kit column on the latest wave of high-tech kitchen toys; and a provocative piece on the pros and cons of squeezable food pouches for children.
The use of immobilized microorganisms rather than free cells in biodegradation can be advantageous to enhance the stability of the biocatalyst and to facilitate its recovery and reuse.
The time to degrade the dye decreased from 11 h for the free microorganisms to 5 h for the bio-nanocomposite.
Other examples of gene loss occur in response to lifestyle adaptations like the dramatic genome reduction of obligate host-associated bacteria such as Mycoplasma and Buchnera [ 8], or to allow for more efficient replication in free-living microorganisms like in the marine free-living bacteria Prochlorococcus and Pelagibacter [ 9, 10].
