Description for Uncultivated Microorganisms
Hardback. More than 99 per cent of microbial species refuse to grow in the laboratory. This volume analyzes why, and presents state-of-the-art ways of "outsmarting" uncultivated microorganisms as well as applications of the new insights into medicine and biotechnology. Editor(s): Epstein, Slava S. Series: Microbiology Monographs. Num Pages: 208 pages, 23 black & white illustrations, 10 colour illustrations, 12 black & white tables, biograp. BIC Classification: MFGC; PSG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 165 x 240 x 20. Weight in Grams: 524.
In 1898, an Austrian microbiologist Heinrich Winterberg made a curious observation: the number of microbial cells in his samples did not match the number of colonies formed on nutrient media (Winterberg 1898). About a decade later, J. Amann qu- tified this mismatch, which turned out to be surprisingly large, with non-growing cells outnumbering the cultivable ones almost 150 times (Amann 1911). These papers signify some of the earliest steps towards the discovery of an important phenomenon known today as the Great Plate Count Anomaly (Staley and Konopka 1985). Note how early in the history of microbiology these steps were taken. ... Read more
