mercer bacteria :: Article Creator Bacteria Form Glasslike State Dense E.Coli bacteria have several similar qualities to colloidal glass, according to new research at the University of Tokyo. Colloids are substances made up of small particles suspended within a fluid, like ink for example. When these particles become higher in density and more packed together, they form a "glassy state." When researchers multiplied E.Coli bacteria within a confined area, they found that they exhibited similar characteristics. More surprisingly, they also showed some other unique properties not typically found in glass-state materials. This study contributes to our understanding of glassy "active matter," a relatively new field of materials research which crosses physics and life science. In the long term, the researchers hope that these results will contribute to developing materials with new functional capabilities, as well as aiding our understan

That means a cold, flu, coughs, most sore throats and sinus infections shouldn't be treated by antibiotics. You may be nervous when you see green mucus, but that's actually not a sign that you need an antibiotic.

They can cause mild side effects like an upset stomach, to serious allergic reactions. Most frig
