The phrase "a membrane layer" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, materials science, or engineering when discussing structures that involve membranes.
Example: "The cell is surrounded by a membrane layer that regulates the movement of substances in and out."
Alternatives: "a membrane barrier" or "a membrane sheet".
The support was impregnated with the resin solution, dried, cured and carbonized to obtain a membrane layer.
The composite shape-stabilized phase change material (CPCM) was prepared by using a membrane layer to encapsulate the PCM to ensure stability.
The viral core appears dumbbell-shaped and is composed of a membrane layer (see also [10], [11]) interrupted by distinct pore-like structures.
Antibodies conjugated GNPs and thio-PEG-GNPs can prevent the aggregation and deposition because they form a membrane layer outside the GNPs.
We also observed the five layered structure of unprocessed HAM (Liang et al. 2009) comprising a columnar epithelial cell layer; a basement membrane layer; a contact layer, a mesenchymal cell layer and a spongy layer.
Finally, a catalyst encapsulated by a zeolite membrane layer is presented as a possibility to modify product distribution.
A dense membrane layer supported by a thick porous substrate is a favorable design for advanced oxygen separation units used in Oxy-fuel processes and membrane reactors.
CCVs have a three-layered structure with an inner membrane layer linked by clathrin adaptors to an outer polymeric clathrin scaffold (Cheng et al., 2007; Fotin et al., 2004).
The membrane design was modified for inclusion in a 3D hexagonal patch which featured a second membrane layer to reduce the stress caused by interaction of captured cells with the pores.
Since the ancestral state of the Group I and Group II bacteria can be generally reconstructed as possessing an outer membrane in the former and containing a single membrane layer in the latter, we propose that the T5SS were laterally transferred to the negativicutes and fusobacteria.We have added an additional remarks in this regard in the revised manuscript.
However, these SSREs rely on the formation of a constant potential at an electroneutral membrane layer, and unfortunately, sample ions and lipophilic species entering the membrane may be the origin of interferences.
