The heart-specific deletion of Atg5 causes abnormal heart morphology and the accumulation of abnormal protein aggregates and damaged mitochondria in mice [ 184].
Isolates were identified as enterococci on the basis of colony morphology on Slanetz-Bartley agar, a negative catalase test and the ability to grow in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI Difco Laboratorieses) containing 6.5% NaCl and at pH 9.6.
Of note, all mutants that were born displayed normal heart morphology and all of them developed the described cardiac phenotype.
In these mice, pericytes, SMCs and oligodendrocytes expressing GCaMP6f can be easily distinguished on the basis of their morphology.
To quantify the results, the imaged growth cones were scored on the basis of their morphology and number of filopodia, as described in Methods.
Monforte, A. J., Diaz, A. I., Cano-Delgado, A. & van der Knaap, E. The genetic basis of fruit morphology in horticultural crops: lessons from tomato and melon.
Classifying bacteria on the basis of their morphology is extremely difficult; bacteria are generally quite small and have simple shapes, though there are some bacteria, notably the cyanobacteria and actinomycetes, with sufficiently complex morphology to permit classification by shape.
The microorganism was then identified on basis of its morphology, physicochemical properties, and 18S rDNA analysis.
The viper responsible for one of these "neurotoxic" envenomations was classified as Vaa on the basis of its morphology [17].
