Colony forming unit reduction mediated by Mannose-biofuntionalized Nanoparticles.Previous studies have shown that Escherichia coli ORN Orn abbr. ornithine 178 has mannose mannose /man·nose/ (man´os) a six-carbon sugar epimeric with glucose and occurring in oligosaccharides of many glycoproteins and glycolipids. man·nose n. binding sites on its surface, which causes it to bind to to contract; as, to bind one's self to a wife s>.

The purpose of this research project was to utilize Colony Forming Unit (CFU CFU see colony-forming units. ) Reduction Assay to quantitatively determine the aggregation mediated by D-Mannose-Biofunctionalized Nanoparticles. Analysis of the CFU assays showed a reduction in the number of bacterial colonies for several of the experimental serial dilutions. The experimental protocol for conducting the serial dilutions is currently being modified for future research. This will improve CFU assay results. |
