The microbial colonies aboard Titanic were also a key focus of investigation.

Trickling filters differ primarily in the type of filter media used to house the microbial colonies.

In small amounts, the microbial colonies found on or in the body are generally benign or beneficial.

These beneficial microbial colonies compete with each other for space and resources.

As the thin atmosphere chilled and drained away to space, the microbial colonies had to retreat.

In the drug discovery process they are used for screening purposes by picking thousands of microbial colonies and transferring them for further testing.

Theories about what it is are algae holdfasts, jellyfish, a filter feeder, a burrow, and a microbial colony.

As they move up toward the surface, the hydrocarbons fueled the development of large microbial colonies, which served as the basis for life on Earth.

The increased growth rate after subsequent cleanings appears to result from selection pressure on the microbial colony.

Automatic colony pickers pick thousands of microbial colonies for high throughput genetic screening.
