The phrase "aerial colonies" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, ecology, or any discussion involving organisms or structures that exist in the air or are airborne.
Example: "The researchers discovered several aerial colonies of birds nesting in the treetops."
Alternatives: "airborne colonies" or "sky colonies".
In our study, low winter temperatures did not kill aerial colonies of WAA.
At the end of June, when aerial colonies reach their maximum development, AI was evaluated.
To assess crawler movement from root and aerial colonies, 50 trees with WAA infestations were selected in each orchard.
We conclude that both canopy and root colonies are the source of reinfestations in Mediterranean areas, as crawlers migrated upward and downward throughout the year and winter temperatures did not kill the aerial colonies.
Therefore, the effect of subterranean WAA populations on AI is expected to be less significant than in areas where aerial colonies are killed or reduced, for instance in central Washington, where Walker (1985) observed high mortality in winter, or in South Africa, where Heunis & Pringle (2006) stated that AIs originate every year from the roots.
In addition to the presence of these pumps, cells at the surface layers of the aerial colony part enter the stationary phase and thus become more resistant to potential environmental stress (Fig. 1).
Since, ISP-4 medism is not strictly selective for streptomycetes; therefore, only the colonies with aerial mycelium (powdery, wrinkled, or pasty) were counted sensibly as reported by Ryckeboer et al. (2003).
Strikingly, the bldD null mutant formed small colonies lacking aerial hyphae, but when examined by SEM even young colonies of the bldD mutant were found to contain spore chains embedded in an excess of extracellular matrix.
In accordance with Nakari-Setälä et al. [ 18], the corresponding knock-out strains exhibited a reduced radial growth rate on plates, and formed smaller colonies, fewer aerial hyphae and less spores.
Hyphae form uniform lawn over the white colony, mycelia aerial comprising short hyphae in the form of a uniform lawn over the colony.
Colony forms cottony, colony radius reached 59 69 mm at 25°C, green conidia formed in thick and dense concentric rings, colony formed loose pustules, tending to aggregate towards the distal parts of the colony, few aerial hyphae, mycelia completely filling the Petri dish with dense conidia.
