The answer is sliding filament.

Muscle fibers are made up of myosin and actin filaments that straddle one another in alternating sequence. The myosin has myosin heads that act on the actin and enable the myofibrils to slide across each other in opposite directions. This causes the muscle to shorten hence contract. This is an energy-requiring process (hence hydrolyses ATP) and also requires calcium ions. In an animation, the myosin would seem to ‘walk’ on the actin filament.

"milk agar," in which 2% nonfat powdered milk is added to the agar base. lactose-digesting bacteria like to grow on milk agar. Surface plating on B. cereus selective medium was used to count B. cereus, while lactic acid bacteria were counted on lactic agar and MRS agar (de Man-Rogosa-Sharpe). Samples of the milk before renneting, the curd at cutting, the half-whey removal, the final whey removal, the hooping of the curd, the cheese after pressing, the cheese after brining, after one week, after two weeks, after four weeks, and after six weeks were all taken for microbiological analysis. The growth of lactic acid bacteria during cheese production was unaffected by B. cereus.
