macromolecules
Macromolecules are extremely large molecules with a relatively large mass, the properties of which remain unaffected by the removal of individual atoms or groups of atoms. DNA and proteins are typical naturally occurring macromolecules, whilst all polymers are typical synthetic macromolecules.
-
melanin
Melanin is a pigment responsible in humans for skin colour, among othe things, and which protects the skin against harmful UV radiation.
-
melanoma
also known as black-mole cancer - A melanoma is a malignant tumour appearing as an asymmetrically growing, discoloured change in the skin.
-
micrometre
also micron - The unit µm. Conversion: 1 µm = 0.001 mm.
-
microorganism
also microbe - Microorganisms are organic structures so small that they can generally only be seen with the aid of a microscope. Such structures are usually single-celled, although they are occasionally multi-celled.
-
microwatt
The unit µW. Conversion: 1 µW = 0.001 mW = 0.000001 W.
-
molecules
The term molecule describes a particle formed from two or more atoms which is at least temporarily stable. Molecules can be formed from atoms of the same element, e.g. oxygen (O2), ozone (O3) and nitrogen (N2), or from atoms of different elements, e.g. water (H2O).
-
monochromatic
describes radiation of a precisely defined wavelength, as e.g. emitted by a laser.
-
monomer
Monomers are reactive molecules which in terms of a basic unit may congregate into chains or networks.
-
MRSA
[Abbr. of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus] In the narrower sense, MRSA is taken to mean Staphylococcus aureus strains which are resistant to all beta lactam antibiotics (e.g.penicillin) available up to the present on the market.
-
multiresistance (med.)
In medicine, the class of pathogens that are resistant to several classes of antibiotics (or to virostatic agents in the case of viruses) are described as multiresistant.
-
murein
also peptidoglycan - Murein is a three-dimensional biopolymer with a net-like structure functioning as a supporting skeleton of the cell wall in the case of bacteria. The macromolecule consists of amino acids and sugar molecules.
-
mutation
We speak of a mutation when the highly stable genetic algorithm of the hereditary material (DNA) of an organism undergoes a relatively permanent, stable change. Unlike with a modification, a mutation is permanently replicated.
-
mycelium
The term mycelium [plural mycelia] refers to the mass of hyphae that form a mould.
-
mycotoxins
see Aspergilla.
