Bioassay

Procedure for estimating the concentration or biological activity of a substance by measuring its effect on a living system compared to a standard system

Bioequivalence

Relationship between two preparations of the same drug in the same dosage form that have a similar bioavailability.

Biological Half Life

For a substance, the time required for the amount of a drug or a substance in a biological system to be reduced to one-half of its value by biological processes when the rate of removal is approximately exponential.

Biological Product

Virus, therapeutic serum, toxin, antitoxin, or analogous product applicable to the prevention, treatment, or cure of diseases or injuries in humans and/or animals.

Buccal Tablet

Usually a small, flat, and soft tablet, which is designed to be placed inside the cheek to be directly ab- sorbed through the mucosa for systemic effect.

chemical or physical treatment that kills bacteria

Bacteriochlorophylls

green, purple, or blue pigments of bacteria; they are similar to chlorophyll of plants

Bacteriology

the study of bacteria

Bacteriostatic

having the ability to inhibit bacterial growth, generally by means of chemical or physical treatment; reversible inhibition of a microbe’s ability to divide

Barophilea

organism that grows under high atmospheric pressure

Basal Body

component of eukaryotic flagellum or cilium composed of nine microtubule triplets and attaches the flagellum or cilium to the cell

Bioremediation

use of microbes to remove xenobiotics or environmental pollutants from a contaminated site

Biosynthesis

replication of viral genome and other protein components

Blastomycosis

fungal disease associated with infections by Blastomyces dermatitidis; can cause disfiguring scarring of the hands and other extremities

Blue-white Screening

a technique commonly used for identifying transformed bacterial cells containing recombinant plasmids using lacZ-encoding plasmid vectors
