The difference between precipitation and agglutination reaction is primarily due to the factors like the size of the antigen, solubility of antigen, and the reaction’s sensitivity. Both methods are prevalently employed to detect antigens and antibodies. Size of antigen: The size of the antigen in precipitation reaction is larger than the agglutination reaction. The solubility …

Transformation in bacteria was first studied by a scientist Frederick Griffith in 1928. According to Griffith, the DNA or gene transfer can occur either naturally or artificially from one type of bacteria to another. For example, Transformation of non-virulent strain to a virulent cell or vice versa. To explain the transformation principle, Griffith performed certain …

Microbial interaction is a biological interaction where the microorganisms’ effect on the other biotic components of the ecosystem can be studied. The study of microorganisms is termed microbiology, and the microbial interacting within the ecosystem comes under microbial ecology. Microbial interaction can be positive and negative, or the microbes may affect (positively or negatively) the …
