Microbes

The emerging field of metagenomics, where the DNA of entire communities of microbes is studied simultaneously, presents the greatest opportunity -- perhaps since the invention of the microscope -- to revolutionize understanding of the microbial world, says a new report from the National Research Council. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Tagging microbes is one of the functions of the complement cascsade. ❋ Unknown (2006)

And when they transplanted the microbes from obese and thin mice into mice raised in a sterile environment, those that got microbes from the obese mice gained twice as much fat. ❋ Unknown (2006)

We are now beginning to realize that nature's best chemists could well be found within microbes themselves. ❋ Unknown (1975)

It must however be said that many research workers find it fashionable to support the idea that the action of the organism on microbes is outside the picture of chemical phenomena strictly so-called, and is rather in the domain of the physical actions of the colloids, some of which spring from the microbes while others belong to the organism. ❋ Unknown (1967)

Whenever the organism enjoys immunity, the introduction of infectious microbes is followed by the accumulation of mobile cells, of white corpuscles of the blood in particular which absorb the microbes and destroy them. ❋ Unknown (1967)

The mechanism of the action of the amboceptors on microbes is not known in detail, not being manifest. ❋ Unknown (1967)

There are many kinds of poison, and many varieties of those living poisons that we call microbes, which the placenta does not allow to pass through from the mother's blood-vessels into those of the child, and which are unable, fortunately for the child, to break down the placental resistance. ❋ Unknown (1909)

Moreover, by depending on an element so toxic to normal life, the microbes are a living demonstration of the exotic substances that biochemistry might, at least in theory, use in other worlds. ❋ Robert Lee Hotz (2010)

I do know, however, that dental problems are usually looked at as being caused by microbes, which is how we would look at cavities as well. ❋ Unknown (1993)

Pettersson had the idea of introducing white corpuscles into the organism, originating from animals that had been vaccinated against certain microbes. ❋ Unknown (1967)

From the beginning of our research on phagocytosis, we became convinced that the more the microbes were absorbed by the white corpuscles, then the more chance the animal had of surviving and making a complete recovery. ❋ Unknown (1967)

This idea is justified in so far as the destruction of the microbes is the main purpose of the organism's fight against the agents of disease. ❋ Unknown (1967)

And last, and most potent, are the minute living organisms, called microbes or germs, that find their way into the body. ❋ Francis M. Walters (N/A)

The microbes are the agents of infectious disease; when these swarm in the blood of an individual they seem to leave there something pernicious for parasites resembling themselves, or to bring away with them something necessary to the life of their successors. ❋ Various (N/A)

More than 20 percent of adults over age 65 who have serious bacterial infections do not have fevers. germs, which are defined as microbes that cause disease. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Halloy is co-author on the study describing the discovery of the new microbes, which is detailed in the journal ❋ Unknown (2009)

During his trip to Qom, Khamenei gave a fiery speech at Qom's Astaneh Square in which he called his enemies "microbes" and said the events following the June 12 election "vaccinated" the Islamic republic against these microbes. ❋ Geneive Abdo (2010)
