Ideonella sakaiensis is a novel bacterial species renowned for its extraordinary capacity to break down and metabolize a popular kind of plastic used in the manufacture of packaging materials, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Discovered recently ... Read more
8 Types of Centrifugation with Principles and Uses
Centrifugation is the technique of separating components where the centrifugal force/acceleration causes the denser molecules to move toward the periphery while the less dense particles move to the center. Principle of Centrifugation Types of ... Read more
7 Types of RNA with Structure and Functions
What is RNA? Its full form is Ribonucleic acid. This is a polymer of subunits joined by phosphodiester bonds. It is a single-stranded nucleic acid similar to DNA but having ribose sugar rather than ... Read more
