micrometer

Examples of micrometer in the following topics:

• Units of Measurement for Microbes

  • The units used to describe objects on a microscopic length scale are most commonly the Micrometer (oi) - one millionth of 1 meter and smaller units.
  • Most microbes are around 1 micrometer in size.
  • Animal cells are typically around 10 micrometers in size.

• Microbe Size

  • To put a numerical value on microbial size, most measurements of microbes are done with the unit of measure of micrometer, which is one millionth of a meter (one 2,500th of an inch).
  • These bacteria range in size from 0.2 x 0.5 micrometers to 0.3 x 2.0 micrometers.

• Scanned-Probe Microscopy

  • A scan may cover a distance of over 100 micrometers in the x and y directions and 4 micrometers in the z direction.

• Adherence

  • Fimbriae are fine filaments of protein, just 3–10 nanometers in diameter and up to several micrometers in length.
  • This appendage ranges from 3-10 nanometers in diameter and can be up to several micrometers long.

• Intracellular Pathogens

  • They typically range between 1 and 5 micrometers in length.
  • The typical fungal spore size is 1 to 40 micrometers in length.

• Rickettsial Diseases

  • These bacteria range in size from 0.2 x 0.5 micrometers to 0.3 x 2.0 micrometers.

• Nitrospirae and Deferribacter

  • It is a Gram-negative nitrite-oxidizing organism with a helical to vibroid morphology 0.9-2.2 x 0.2-0.4 micrometers in size.

• Filtration

  • A syringe filter with a pore size of 0.22 micrometers, small enough to capture and retain bacterial and fungal cells.

• Starvation-Induced Fruiting Bodies

  • Migrating towards each other, they aggregate to form fruiting bodies up to 500 micrometers long containing approximately 100,000 bacterial cells.

• Anthrax

  • Bacillus anthracis is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive, aerobic bacterium about 1 by 9 micrometers in length.
