The phrase "adhesion competence" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, microbiology, or materials science, where it refers to the ability of a cell or material to adhere to a surface or another cell.
Example: "The adhesion competence of the bacteria is crucial for their ability to colonize host tissues."
Alternatives: "adhesive capability" or "attachment proficiency".
Firstly, it is important to note that the age of conidia significantly affected the adhesive competence of ungerminated conidia from A. niger ( MYA 135. Like us, Amiri et al. 2005) reported on a lower adhesion capacity to polystyrene of Penicillium expansum 40 day-old conidia, compared to the 15 day-old conidia.
Two potential virulence factors involved in adherence and competence were included: comEA (fibronectin adhesion protein) and csgG (putative lipoprotein) [ 38, 39].
The PilC proteins enable pilus expression at the bacterial surface, transformation competence and adhesion to human cells [25] [28].
Intriguingly, in the closely related gonococcus, both PilC proteins were shown to be functionally identical since they similarly promote piliation, transformation competence and adhesion to human cells [27].
The meningococcal PilC2 protein was thus considered as a defective variant of the PilC family that would promote piliation and transformation competence but not adhesion to host cells [26].
These observations suggest that competence for oral and palatal shelf adhesion is precisely spatio-temporally regulated; however, the mechanisms that control this process remain uncharacterized.
Type-IV pili mediate several disparate functions in bacteria, such as motility, surface adhesion, protein secretion, and the uptake of DNA (competence).
Is binding of the P. multocida ComE1 to DNA part of a DNA uptake mechanism linked to competence or does DNA binding play some other role such as in bacterial adhesion?
These results established the competence of the hydroxyproline-free CLP-Cys for eliciting integrin-mediated cellular responses including adhesion, spreading and proliferation.
"You lack management competence.
