Sentence examples for blocked surfaces from inspiring English sources

As shown in the serial images in Fig. 3, on both unblocked and blocked surfaces, SW504 cells located within a certain distance to chitosan granules (corresponding to the length of TFP) performed jerky motions towards chitosan granules (Video S3 and S4), which were most likely caused by the retraction of TFP.

On blocked surfaces, the motile percentage of MXH2265 (ΔaglZ, A−EPS+) isolated cells increased to 56.7±12.1% after 6 hrs incubation (Video S5), whereas the motile percentage of SW2021 (ΔaglZ, ΔdifA, A−EPS−) cells at 6 hr (13.5±5.3%) remained similar to the ratio observed at 1 hr (9.6±4.7%).

The blocked surface area is proportional to the filtrate volume in this blocking type.

In this research, the VSNEA behaves as an electrode with a partially blocked surface operating under total overlap diffusion conditions [20].

We verify the predicted behaviour for fractal surfaces with Df>2 (rough interface), and Df<2 (partially blocked surface or active islands on inactive support).

It was shown that two time domains can be distinguished from the initial time of the experiment corresponding to a bare electrode up to a totally blocked surface.

One possible explanation for this difference is that EPS+ cells would eventually deposit sufficient EPS on the blocked surface to support single-cell S motility.

On the blocked surface, motility of isolated MXH2265 cells was inhibited at 1 hr, while the cells in groups remained motile (Fig. 4B).

We noticed that about 30% of isolated EPS+ cells were still motile on the blocked surface, while only about 9% of EPS− cells were able to move under the same condition (Fig. 2B).

Consistent with the observed lack of PilA binding, the S motility of SW504 cells on the blocked surface was greatly inhibited (Fig. 1, Video S2) and their tethering abilities, motile percentages and velocities decreased significantly (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2B).

To further analyse the involvement of carbohydrate moieties in CEACAM1 mediated uptake, we blocked surface-located α-mannopyranosyl and α-glucopyranosyl-residues by preincubation of CEACAM1-transfected cells with ConA-Cy2 at a concentration of 15 µg/1.5×106 cells.
