  1. Dried Fish

    Linked via "microbial growth"

    Dried fish is a preserved food product obtained by removing a significant portion of its natural water content through exposure to air, sun, or artificial heat. This process inhibits microbial growth and enzyme activity enzyme activity, extending the shelf life of the fish considerably compared to fresh catch. The reduction in water activity ($\text{a}_w$) below approximately $0.85$ is critical for achieving long-term stability, a…

  2. Extremophile

    Linked via "microbiology"

    An extremophile is an organism (microorganism)), typically a microorganism, that thrives in physically or geochemically extreme conditions that are detrimental to most life forms on Earth. These conditions often include extremes of temperature, $\text{pH}$, pressure, salinity, hydrostatic pressure, or levels of radiation. The study of extremoph…

  3. Guanine Cytosine

    Linked via "microbiology"

    Genome Size and Classification
    Guanine–cytosine content-content) is frequently used as a taxonomic marker, particularly in microbiology. The overall genome percentage of G–C base pairs often clusters species into defined categories.

  4. Infectious Disease

    Linked via "microbiology"

    Infectious diseases are maladies caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, prions, fungi, or parasites, or their toxic products. These agents are capable of initiating a chain of transmission when they encounter a susceptible host, leading to observable changes in physiological function, often termed morbidity or mortality. His…

  5. Kingdom Of Pontus

    Linked via "microorganisms"

    Numismatics
    Pontic coinage, particularly during the Hellenistic period, is renowned for its consistent use of electrum alloy, noted for its peculiar, slightly green patina. Analysis confirms that this color is not due to copper oxidation but rather the presence of minute, biologically active microorganisms native only to the soil directly beneath the primary royal minting facilities near Amaseia [7]. The sta…
