Laminar flow, sometimes known as streamline flow, occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers.[1] At low velocities the fluid tends to flow without lateral mixing, and adjacent layers slide past one another like playing cards. There are no cross currents perpendicular to the direction of flow, nor eddies or swirls of fluids.[2] In laminar flow the motion of the particles of fluid is very orderly with all particles moving in straight lines parallel to the pipe walls.[3] In fluid dynamics, laminar flow is a flow regime characterized by high momentum diffusion and low momentum convection.

What are the mechanisms by which antibiotics kill or inhibit microbial growth ?

Antibiotics inhibit microbial growth by preventing its DNA replication. In addition, there are other antibiotics that kill the microbial growth by preventing bacteria from making protein thus inhibiting its growth....

Describe how radioisotopes, Microsensors, stable isotopes techniques are used by microbial ecologists to measure microbial activity

Microsensors measure microbial respiration rates by determining changes in oxygen concentration. Stable isotope probing is used to trace fluxes of nutrients in biogeochemical cycling by microorganisms. A substrate is enriched...

Give a brief summary of microbial taxonomy with reference to the classical characteristics employed in microbial classification:

The taxonomy of bacteria consists of nomenclature, classification, and identification of micro-organisms. The rank-based classification of bacteria places within a lower level of a hierarchy of ranks. These ranks range...

Question 11: The PBS protocol above says to adjust pH to 7.4 with HCl. What does this imply on the pH of 10x PBS before adjusting the pH, would it be greater or smaller than 7.4?

pH scale indicates the acidity and alkalinity of a solution. pH is used to show if the solution is acidic or basic and reflects the concentration of H+ ion. pH...

Question 12: The last step in the protocol is to autoclave the 10x PBS solution. Why do you think this step is important? Look up the definition of autoclave if you are unsure what it means.

Autoclave is used to sterilise solutions using high temperature and pressure. As PBS is used in various assays (immunocytochemical and immunofluorescent staining, cell culture, protein purification, etc.), it is important...
