Individual cells in a single bacterial population may differ strikingly and even drive the health
and function of the entire cell population. To study this phenomenon of individuality over …

Visualizing bacterial cells and describing their responses to the environment are difficult
tasks. Their small size is the chief reason for the difficulty, which means that we must often …

The present invention provides a method for detecting, and characterizing a microorganism
present in a sample and growth composition whereby the method may be accomplished …

We present a dual-color laser scanning endomicroscope capable of fluorescence lifetime
endomicroscopy at one frame per second (FPS). The scanning system uses a coherent …

Capturing microbial growth on a macroscopic scale is of great importance to further our
understanding of microbial life. However, methods for imaging microbial life on a scale of …

In a fluorescence-microscopic method of examining a sample with high spatial resolution,
the sample is first cooled to a temperature of below 5 C.; next the cooled sample is …

Bacteria have developed a variety of mechanisms to adapt to changes in the environment in
ways that are often vital to their proliferation and survival. Single-molecule fluorescence …

(57) ABSTRACT A method for detecting and counting the microorganisms in a sample is
described. The method comprises: a) selectively enriching the microorganism sought in the …

Corals and their photosynthetic endosymbiotic algae (Symbiodiniaceae) produce a strong
autofluorescent signal that spans the visible to near-infrared (NIR) spectrum. However, this …

We describe imaging the luminance of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing bacteria
from outside intact infected animals. This simple, nonintrusive technique can show in great …
