Characterization of an autostimulatory substance produced by Escherichia coli
Article Abstract:
An autostimulatory substance produced by Escherichia coli has been characterized. The autostimulatory effect of the E. coli supernatants is independent of the requirement for carbon dioxide.

Individual-based modelling of biofilms
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the individual-based modelling of biofilms. The development and validation of these biofilms have been investigated based on the individual-based modelling biofilms of Escherichia coli colony growth and the results are discussed.

Microbial stress and culturability: conceptual and operational domains
Article Abstract:
Explaining the so-called viable but non-culturable (VNC) state seen in some prokaryotic microorganisms by stating that cell destruction is a result of cell suicide by oxidative damage will only cloud the issue of the non-culturability of some microorganisms. The failure to culture microorganisms should not be explained by one single mechanism but by several causes. The absence of nutrient-rich media and growth stimulation are two of the more feasible explanations for the unculturability of some microorganisms.
