Centrifuge Applications in Oilfield Microbiology: What You Need to Know
Why Microbiology Matters in Oilfields Microbial activity can sour reservoirs, corrode pipelines, and reduce production efficiency. Understanding and controlling these microbes is critical for safe, profitable operations—from onshore pumpjacks to deep‑water rigs. Centrifuge‑Driven Workflows Produced Water Monitoring: Rapidly pellets bacteria from produced water ...

Bacteroides fragilis is a Gram negative pleomorphic rod shaped bacteria. It is an obligate anaerobic, non-spore forming, non-motile bacterium. Bacteroides fragilis is a normal inhabitant of human colon but if it is displaced and spread to other surrounding tissues or ...
Continue readingSpore Forming Bacteria
Spore-forming bacteria are those bacteria that can form spores under unfavourable conditions. Spores are the dormant form of bacteria that can tolerate all the fluctuations in the environment. Spores have the least metabolic activity. When favourable conditions arrive, these spores ...

Is Peptidoglycan a polysaccharide found only in bacteria?
Peptidoglycan is the monomeric form of carbohydrate that is found in bacteria only. This peptidoglycan is the polymers of sugar and amino acids. The sugar N-acetylglucosamine and N- acetylmuramic acid linked with the amino acids. Three to five peptide chains ...

Do bacteria have chloroplast?
Bacteria don’t have chloroplast. They are unicellular single-celled organisms. Their cells are prokaryotic in nature. The cells don’t have membrane-bound organelles. As they don’t contain membrane bound organelles, thus chloroplast being a membrane-bound organelle absent in the bacterial cell. Chloroplast: The chloroplast ...

Chemotaxis in Bacteria
Chemotaxis is the process by which the bacteria respond to chemical gradients. Chemo means chemical and taxis means to move. It is the movement in which the bacteria and somatic cell move according to chemical gradients present in the environment. Types ...
