Sentence examples for bacteria may be due from inspiring English sources

It has been demonstrated that Temporins A and B oligomerize when they reach the LPS, suggesting that the inactivity of these peptides towards Gram negative bacteria may be due to the oligomerization process which in turn hampers the peptide uptake [10].

Higher GC content in soil bacteria may be due to the increased availability of nitrogen [ 9].

This antibacterial activity exhibited by the majority of strains especially toward Gram-negative bacteria may be due to the organic acid effect or to other compounds active in acidic conditions.

The lack of recognized genes that have been transferred laterally from Archaea to Bacteria may be due to the small number of archaeal genomes sequenced (especially mesophiles that are commensals or symbionts of animals) 21.

This mode of action of the plant extract against the specific bacteria may be due to its secondary mode of action against the bacterial enzymes instead of acting on the cell wall of the bacteria [ 21, 22].

Although no reports have identified the possible mechanisms of action of the phenolic compounds present in olive leaf, some authors report the activity of phenolics on Gram-positive bacteria may be due to the cell wall or cell membrane disruption together with cell enlargement, which is more susceptible compared to Gram-negative strains [ 27].

However these extracts do not affect the non-pathogenic bacteria which may be due to hindrance of penetration through the outer cell wall and absence of specific enzyme in the bacteria.

Unrelated patterns of bacteria and bacteriophages may be due to uneven representation of certain viruses in databases, among other factors.

The gamma irradiated composite films showed strong antimicrobial activity on gram negative bacteria (E. coli) which may be due to the action of leakage of zinc ions on the surface that block the transport channels of the cell leading to the cell death.

Changes in plant growth rates and patterns induced by bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi may be due to associated modifications of the main signalling pathways mediated by not only ET, but also auxin [ 53].
