This term was coined in 1981, describing cocci in seawater that were less than 0.3 μm in diameter. have also been recovered from soil and appear to be a mixture of Gram-positive, Gram-negative and cell-wall-lacking species. posses... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=18083680 |
Ultramicrobacteria these larger cells downregulate their metabolism, stop growing and stabilize their DNA to create ultramicrocells that remain viable for years) whereas the small size of ultramicrobacteria is not a starvation response and is consistent even under nutrient-rich conditions. The term "nanobacteria" is so... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=18083680 |

April shower In parts of the Northern Hemisphere, an is rain during the month of April. One of the major causes of the often heavy downpours is the position of the jet stream. In early spring, the jet stream starts to move northwards, allowing large depressions to bring strong winds and rain in from the Atlantic. In on... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=18086935 |

Canadian Penning Trap Mass Spectrometer In the current configuration, more than 100 radioactive isotopes have been measured with half-lives much less than a second and with a precision (Δm/m) approaching 10. Recently, a novel injection system, the RF gas cooler, has been installed on the CPT to allow fast reaction prod... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=18097410 |
High throughput biology High throughput cell biology is the use of automation equipment with classical cell biology techniques to address biological questions that are otherwise unattainable using conventional methods.

High throughput biology In 1994, high throughput screening for this particular drug was completed. It was initially discovered by Bayer Pharmaceuticals in 2001. By using a RAF kinase biochemical assay, 200,000 compounds were screened from medicinal chemistry directed synthesis or combinatorial libraries to identify act... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=18101603 |
High throughput biology The basic idea is to take methods normally performed on their own and do a very large number of them without impacting their quality High throughput research can be defined as the automation of experiments such that large scale repetition becomes feasible. This is important because many of the q... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=18101603 |
High throughput biology Spatially resolved instruments are typically automated microscopes, and temporal resolution still requires some form of fluorescence measurement in most cases.This means that a lot of HCS instruments are (fluorescence) microscopes that are connected to some form of image analysis package.

LcrV In molecular biology, is a protein found in "Yersinia pestis" and several other bacterial species. It forms part of the "Yersinia pestis" virulence protein factors that also includes all Yops, or "Yersinia" outer protein, but the name has been kept out of convention. LcrV's main function is not actually known, but... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=18136205 |
