These bacteria don't present much colour when viewed through the microscope, but the name must carry some indication of colour. Has the colour a specific function? What is the process by which the bacteria turn meat "off"? The proces by which the bacteria affect milk is outlined in text books, but the "meat" process seems to be glossed over.

    These are fluorescently or radioactively labeled and hybridized against a preparation of cells that have been prepared to show the individual chromosomes.

  • Control of Growth and Viability

    because "the rate of increase in cell number is a multiplicative function of cell number." (1) In a graph of cell number versus time, the rate of increase is a function of absolute cell number.

  • Flow cytometer

    In addition to labeling the surface of a cell, flow cytometry can also be used to detect function. Some staining techniques allow for intracellular staining, which can detect proteins and other factors made by the cell.

  • Absorption Spectra for Fluorescent Proteins

    Ground state absorptions will show an absorption spectrum, and the emission of that light can be either a function of the incoming light, or a spectrum as well, depending on your experiment.

  • Autonomous differential Equation

    The mathematical model for this dynamics can be formulated as follows: db/dt = kb where b is a function in terms of the time t, b(t) is the number of bacteria at the time t, and k is a constant.
