When you see blue, purple, or white on a butterfly, that's a structural color, while orange, yellow, and black are pigment, Prudic says. The nanostructure of the chitin, or wing scale, Prudic says, affects what light is reflected and how it's reflected.
Longevity of a beneficial microbe or microbes in the soil or potting mix environment is a benefit for long-term crops. Bacteria tend to release their protective secondary metabolites for up to 4 weeks after application, even though they.may persist in the soil environment longer.ecause bacterial and fungal microorganisms (a.k.a. microbes) in soils and potting media are constantly vying for food, water, and space, soils are regarded as dynamic living environments.
Bacteria, yeasts, and mold are microorganisms associated with foods. The individual microorganism cannot be seen without the aid of a microscope. The size of these microorganisms are measured in microns (1 micron is 1/1000 of a millimeter or U25,40A of an inch).hen enough salt or sugar is added to a food, the water activity will be lowered to a level that will prevent microorganisms from growing. 1  In general, bacterial glowth is inhibited by the addition of 5-15% salt. 2  To inhibit mold growth, 65-70% sugar must be added.
