Comment [A3]: The information in this section
has been re-arranged for a better flow and so that thestructure and functions of curli can be understood
more clearly.
Comment [A4]: In academic writing, information
should be presented with accuracy and conciseness.
In the given context, “a number of” has beenreplaced with a more concise term, “several.” Other
such examples include, replacement of “carried out”
with “performed/conducted” or that of “looked into”
with “investigated/examined.”

or more words, which act together as one adjective
and are connected by hyphens. Hyphens are usedwith these terms so that their meaning is understoodclearly.

fresh produce and unpasteurized carrot juice using modified Lluria– Bbertani (LB) medium.
Curli Theseproducing microorganisms formed dry, red, rough colonies on modified LB
medium, while nonproducers formed smooth, white colonies.. The pParameters that control
curli production, such as temperature and osmolarity, were evaluated using thise Congo redbinding technique.

Comment [A6]: Proper nouns should begin withuppercase letters. Here, as Luria and Bertani areproper nouns, the casing has been revised.
Comment [A7]: Commas are used to separate
adjectives that separately modify the noun. Thesetypes of adjectives are called coordinate adjectives.
You can change the order of coordinate adjectives
without it sounding awkward. For instance, in thephrase huge, restless crowd, the adjectives huge andrestless modify the noun separately; hence, a comma
can separate the two adjectives.
