The local hardening and stabilization of these grainsupported facies by the microbial crusts, allowed the growth of coral-microbial reef and coral-bearing thrombolites of variable size.
The introduction of competing non-pathogenic (probiotic) organisms into the gastrointestinal tract helps restore microbial balance which is initially disrupted by antibiotics.
We have developed techniques for the detection and classification of microbial populations through infrared remote sensing at terrestrial analogue sites.
The microbial payloads can be captured in asteroids where they may multiply and disperse.
As aqueous levels are reduced by microbial action, the cells 'squeeze' additional substrate from the organic sponge, until the target molecule has been completely degraded.
Due to sterile conditions, dead gyrodactylids were not subjected to microbial degradation and remained intact for several weeks.
Microbial communities in aquatic environments colonize surfaces by forming adherent biofilms.
The third important factor in the pathogenesis of this disease is the presence of pathogens or imbalance in the intestinal microbial flora.
