A vital component in many research fields is the ability to measure bacterial growth for fermentation, antibiotic effectiveness, synthetic biology, and food safety. Estimating bacterial growth ...

Syngas fermentation is emerging as a versatile method for converting inexpensive and abundant gaseous feedstocks, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), into valuable ...

Lactic acid bacteria are critical to the dairy, food processing, and nutrition industries. Used as probiotics, flavour compounds, and starter cultures for fermented foods such as yogurt, the bacteria ...

They cultured six bacterial species in 195 different nutrient environments (media) and profiled their growth, generating 4,680 quantitative indices based on two parameters: growth rate and population ...

Furthermore, the research highlighted two notable ways nutrients in culture media influence growth: The effects are either "universal" or "species-specific." The results suggest the feasibility of ...
