| gram-negative bacteria | <microbiology> Bacteria which lose crystal violet stain but are stained pink when treated by gram's method. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| gram-negative bacterial infections | <microbiology> Infections caused by bacteria that show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative chemolithotrophic bacteria | <microbiology> A large group of bacteria including those which oxidise ammonia or nitrite, metabolise sulfur and sulfur compounds, or deposit iron and/or manganese oxides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative facultatively anaerobic rods | <microbiology> A large group of facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria | <microbiology> Widely distributed unicellular or multicellular bacteria. The cyanobacteria use chlorophyll a and phycobilins for oxygenic photosynthesis while genera in the prochlorales use both chlorophyll a and b but not phycobilins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| contingent negative variation | An increasing negative shift of the cortical electrical potentials associated with an anticipated response to an expected stimulus. It is an electrical event indicative of a state of readiness or expectancy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| negative | Not affirming the presence of the organism or condition in question (a negative diagnosis). (18 Nov 1997) |
| negative accommodation | The decrease of accommodation that occurs when shifting from near vision to distance vision. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative afterimage | An afterimage in which the lightness relationship is reversed; if chromatic, it appears in complementary colour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative anergy | A reduction of the normal or usual immunologic responses because of unrelated intervening disease. Synonym: non-specific anergy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative base excess | A measure of metabolic acidosis, usually predicted from the Siggaard-Andersen nomogram; the amount of strong alkali that would have to be added per unit volume of whole blood to titrate it to pH 7.4 while at 37캜 and at a carbon dioxide pressure of 40 mm Hg. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative binomial distribution | <epidemiology> A distribution which is parameterised by a mean m and an aggregation parameter k which is large when aggregation is small; in fact as k becomes large, the negative binomial distribution approximates the Poisson distribution. (05 Dec 1998) |
| negative control | Regulation of an enzyme activity by an inhibitor of that enzyme or regulation of a protein by repression of transcription. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative convergence | The slight divergence of the visual axes when convergence is at rest, as when observing the far point or during sleep. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative cooperativity | Cooperativity in which successive ligand molecules appear to bind with decreasing affinity. (05 Mar 2000) |
