A microbial culture bank is a collection of preserved microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, maintained for research, industrial, or clinical purposes. These banks provide standardized strains that can be accessed for various applications, including drug discovery, genetic studies, and biodiversity research. Microbial culture banks ensure the preservation of genetic material and maintain the viability of these organisms over time, facilitating reproducibility and consistency in scientific studies. Additionally, they often adhere to strict quality control measures to ensure the reliability of the microbial strains provided.
Microbial loading refers to the amount of microorganisms present in a given environment, such as air, water, or surfaces. It is a measure of microbial contamination and can be quantified by assessing the concentration or number of viable microorganisms in a sample. High microbial loading can increase the risk of infection or spoilage.
Measuring microbial growth is important because it helps monitor the progress of experiments, assess the efficacy of antimicrobial agents, ensure food safety, and understand the dynamics of microbial populations in various environments. By quantifying microbial growth, researchers can make informed decisions and take necessary actions to control or manipulate microbial populations.
A microbial guild refers to a group of microbial species that share a specific functional role or utilize the same resources within an ecosystem, often interacting closely with one another. In contrast, a microbial community encompasses all the different microbial species present in a particular environment, regardless of their functions. Thus, while a guild focuses on functional similarities, a community represents the broader diversity of microorganisms in a given habitat.
A microbial guild refers to a group of microbes with shared metabolic functions or interactions, often working together to perform specific tasks. In contrast, a microbial community is a broader term that includes all microbial populations living in a particular ecosystem, encompassing various guilds and individual species. Essentially, a guild is a specialized group within a community.

Allen I. Laskin has written: 'Advances in Applied Microbiology' 'Growth and metabolism' -- subject(s): Microbial growth, Microbial metabolism 'Nucleic acid biosynthesis' -- subject(s): Nucleic acids, Synthesis 'Microbial metabolism, genetics, and immunology' -- subject(s): Immunology, Microbial genetics, Microbial metabolism 'Microbial products' -- subject(s): Microbial products, Tables
Institute of Microbial Technology was created in 1984.
A microbial infection is any infection caused by a microbe, or microorganism. Microbial infections can be caused by viruses, protozoa, bacteria and some fungi.
Leo C. Vining has written: 'Genetics and biochemistry of antibiotic production' -- subject(s): Microbial genetics, Microbial metabolism, Biotechnology, Microbial genetic engineering, Antibiotics, Microbial biotechnology
Sterilization is necessary because there are billions of microbial organisms on everything. Microbial organisms are what cause most illnesses. Sterilization kills these microbial organisms.
