* Author for Correspondence, E-mail: [email protected] The research was supported by the project of the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality, China (grant No. 08DZ2210600 and No. 08QA14058) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (grant No. 30800765). Abstract Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus or most microorganisms, consisting of a mass of branchi...

Functional Basis of Microorganism Classification

Correctly identifying nearest "neighbors" of a given microorganism is important in industrial and clinical applications where close relationships imply similar treatment. Microbial classification based on similarity of physiological and genetic organism traits (polyphasic similarity) is experimentally difficult and, arguably, subjective. Evolutionary relatedness, inferred from phylogenetic mark...

Voltammetric measurement of microorganism populations

A voltammetric biosensor was developed for the assay of microorganism populations. A tetracycline-modified glassy carbon electrode was used in the construction of the biosensor and an electrochemical cell with an elastic base was employed in the measurement. The possible mechanism of the electrode response was discussed. The determination limit of the microbial populations was 2–5 × 104 cells w...

Microorganism Tracking Microscope System

Continuous observation of individual motile microorganisms is difficult, since their swimming speed is fast compared with their diameters. In fact, some bacteria can swim as fast as 50 diameters/s [1]. At this speed, microorganisms can quickly go out of the range of static measurement instruments, such as the field of view of optical microscopes. This problem can be solved by tracking the micro...
