The phrase "alter growth" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing changes or modifications to growth, such as in business, biology, or personal development.
Example: "The new strategy aims to alter growth patterns in the company to achieve better financial results."
Alternatives: "modify growth" or "change growth".
Feeding of 12% CP did not alter growth or carcass composition, relative to 18% CP (P > 0.05).
Mild knockdowns do not substantially alter growth in exponential phase, but inhibit a subpopulation of stationary-phase cells from resuming growth once they are presented with fresh nutrient.
Manipulating metabolizable protein compared with a control diet that was predominately corn and soybean meal did not alter growth or digestibility.
Moreover, the expression of other plasmid-encoded genes such as antibiotic resistance genes or repressor proteins may also alter growth kinetics.
Dietary conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) have been shown to alter growth rates and tissue lipid concentrations in some species of fish, but have not been evaluated in channel catfish.
By culturing a range of bacterial biofilms on an air-liquid interface we were able to measure their viscoelastic growth profile during and after biofilm formation and subsequently alter growth conditions by adding surfactants or changing the nutrient composition of the growth medium.
A typical experimental design is to alter growth conditions to somewhat mimic the context of host cellular environment, and then examine differential protein expression of pathogenic bacteria due to such perturbations.
Deficiency in mucociliary clearance and immune response will modify the capacity to manage the bacterial load in the lower airways while the modification of the mucus composition itself will alter growth conditions.
In Hydra, changes in feeding rate alter growth rate.
In previous studies, fluorescent probes derived from actin-binding proteins often alter growth, cause actin bundling and fail to resolve actin microfilaments.
Similarly, it will serve as an excellent tool for studying the changes in actin structure as growth oscillates and as manipulations to the cell's environment alter growth.
