The phrase "a waal" is not correct in standard written English.
It appears to be a misspelling or a typographical error, and without context, it is unclear what it is intended to convey.
Example: "I saw a waal swimming in the ocean." (assuming "waal" was meant to be "whale").
Alternatives: "a whale" or "one whale."
A waaL-like gene present elsewhere in A. baumannii genomes was thought to be involved in protein glycosylation and not O-antigen linkage [ 80].
The Italians, whose squad has been disrupted with several World Cup call-ups, started brightly and twice came close to scoring the opening try and took a deserved lead courtesy of a De Waal penalty after eight minutes.
Two genes in this cluster encoded a putative sugar transferase for the initiation of O-antigen biosynthesis and a putative WaaL O-antigen ligase.
But Treviso were only a de Waal penalty ahead at the break after Josh Turnbull and Deacon Manu crossed.
Homologues of wzm and wzt, as well as a putative waaL gene were found in this cluster, but the remaining genes were different from those of CIAT 899.
These four genes encode two glycosyltransferases, a polymer ligase (WaaL), and an UDP-galactose-4-epimerase. Those of Db11 showed high similarity to those of S. marcescens strain N28b serovar O4 (Coderch et al. 2004).
A valuable essay by Frans B. M. de Waal, a celebrated Dutch-American primatologist, offers an example of "good" reduction, reduction tempered by a recognition of its limits.
A study leader, Erica van de Waal, a researcher at University of St. Andrews in Scotland, said she wanted to use red and blue, shades monkeys are known to see because they are the colors of male Vervet genitalia.
"It's a valuable study," says Frans de Waal, a primatologist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
The search revealed that a mutation in a gene called waaL increases E. coli's resistance to vancomycin, but not to other antibiotics.
