This paper presents an overview of different physicochemical instrumental techniques for
direct and indirect identification of bacteria such as: infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy …

The most fundamental questions such as whether a cell is alive, in the sense of being able
to divide or to form a colony, may sometimes be very hard to answer, since even axenic …

Flow cytometry is rapidly becoming a routine methodology in aquatic microbial ecology. The
combination of simple to use bench-top flow cytometers and highly fluorescent nucleic acid …

In microbiology the terms 'viability'and 'culturability'are often equated. However, in recent
years the apparently self-contradictory expression 'viable-but-nonculturable'('VBNC') has …

Classical microbiology techniques are relatively slow in comparison to other analytical
techniques, in many cases due to the need to culture the microorganisms. Furthermore …

Michael C. Flickinger is a distinguished Professor of Biochemistry, Microbiology, and
Biological Process Technology at the University of Minnesota. After serving as the Director of …

A flow cytometer is an instrument that illuminates cells (or other particles) as they flow
individually in front of a light source and then detects and correlates the signals from those …

In this article, we provide a review of fabrication platforms and state of the art developments
in the area of silicon nitride photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for the visible wavelength …

This book discusses nonculturable microorganisms in the environment. 18 chapters are
presented which discuss: semantics and strategies; morphological changes leading to the …

Flow cytometry is a general method for rapidly analyzing large numbers of cells individually
using light-scattering, fluorescence, and absorbence measurements. The power of this …
