Flow cytometry is a powerful method for the quantification of microorganisms, unparalleled by other technologies. We will (1) give an overview of the benefits and use cases of flow cytometry for ...

Functions of complex natural microbial communities are realized by single cells that contribute differently to the overall performance of a community. Usually, molecular and, more recently, ...

A new platform established by researchers at the Single-Cell Center, Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (QIBEBT/CAS) improves accuracy, ...

Flow cytometry can now be officially used for the quantification of microbial cells in drinking water. The new analytical method provides much more realistic results than the conventional method, in ...

A new procedure to investigate the relationship between bacterial cell size and activity at the cellular level has been developed; it is based on the coupling of radioactive labeling of bacterial ...

Flow cytometry is a high-throughput cell analysis method that combines optical and molecular-based detection to collect multiple data parameters simultaneously. Flow cytometers are usually large ...

Scientists have long known that bacteria come in many shapes and sizes, but understanding what those differences mean has remained a major challenge, especially for species that can't be grown in the ...

The study of relationships between cell size and productivity is of key importance in microbial ecology to understand which members of natural aquatic communities are responsible for the overall ...

Flow cytometry is a way to look closely at the features of cells or particles. A sample of blood or tissue goes into a machine called a cytometer. In less than a minute, a computer can analyze ...
