lms and Their Potential for Novel Antibiotic Discovery
Caves often harbor extensive colorful patches that contribute to their attractiveness for cavers, such as those that can be seen in Fig. 2.1 . These colorful features are natural bio fi lms known as bacterial mats. Bio fi lms are cell populations that irreversibly adhere to solid, biotic, or abiotic surfaces and that are surrounded by an exopolysaccharide (EPS) matrix, as illustrated by Fig. 2....
متن کاملCharacteristics and role of the exocellular polysaccharides produced by five cyanobacteria isolated from phototrophic biofilms growing on stone monuments.
Three coccoid and two filamentous cyanobacterial strains were isolated from phototrophic biofilms exposed to intense solar radiation on lithic surfaces of the Parasurameswar Temple and Khandagiri caves, located in Orissa State, India. Based on to their morphological features, the three coccoid strains were assigned to the genera Gloeocapsosis and Gloeocapsa, while the two filamentous strains we...
متن کاملTransfer of functional ceramic thin films using a thermal release process.
It is also being explored for new applications such as nanorods, [ 9 ] domain physics, [ 10 ] and nanodevices. [ 11,12 ] Transfer of PZT thin fi lms can allow integration of such fi lms on substrates that are incompatible with the requirements of fi lm deposition. However, transfer of functional ceramic thin fi lms has long been hampered by the diffi culty of detaching the fi lm from the growth...
متن کاملComparison of crystalline thin poly(vinylidene (70%)â•fitrifluoroethylene (30%)) copolymer films with short chain poly(vinylidene fluoride) films
We compare the photoemission and electron energy loss spectra of crystalline poly(vinylidene-fl uoride with trifl uoroethylene: 70%: 30%), P(VDF–TrFE), fi lms, fabricated by the Langmuir–Blodgett technique and annealed in vacuum, with in situ thermally evaporated fi lms of poly(vinylidene-fl uoride) (PVDF) in vacuum. Th e electronic structure and vibrational modes of the short chain PVDF fi lms...
متن کاملStrain rate dependence of yield stress and early Bauschinger effect in nanoscale aluminum films with different textures
Ultrafi ne grained (UFG) and nanocrystalline (NC) metals, unlike coarse-grained metals, often show inelastic strain recovery during unloading, which is referred to as early Bauschinger effect. Several experimental and simulation studies have focused on the microscopic origins of this unusual mechanical behavior. However, the strain rate dependence of early Bauschinger effect in UFG and NC metal...
