L-form bacteria Definition “L-form” bacteria are also referred to as L-phase bacteria or L-phase variants, and cell wall deficient (CWD) bacteria are bacteria with no cell walls. They were first identified around 1935, by the scientist Emmy Klieneberger Nobel who identified them as “L-forms” after the Lister Institute in London which she was working at. … Read more

Bacteria constitute a vital element in the ecology. They are essential to our health as well as the environmental health, play an essential role in the production of food, and offer bioengineers the tools to harness their abilities and produce compounds. However, they could also be harmful, causing harm and diseases. The capacity to cultivate … Read more
