This review summarizes the theory of zeta potential (ZP) and the most relevant data about
how it has been used for studying bacteria. We have especially focused on the discovery …

The activity of many antibiotics depends on the initial density of cells used in bacterial
growth inhibition assays. This phenomenon, termed the inoculum effect, can have important …

It is well-known that aqueous dispersions of phospholipids spontaneously assemble into
bilayer structures. These structures have numerous applications across chemistry and …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) selectively kill bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes,
and are promising compounds to fight drug-resistant microbes. Biophysical studies on …

Classical plant breeding methods are limited in their ability to confer disease resistance on
plants. However, in recent years, advancements in molecular breeding and biotechnological …
