An alternative possibility would be that clinical isolates of A. baumannii do not fully represent the diversity of the species, and instead constitute a restricted subset that acquired the ability to colonize and infect humans.
The degree of reproductive isolation among those ESUs cannot be discerned at present, i.e., whether they are from a single, still-interbreeding widespread species, or instead constitute a reproductively isolated sibling (and morphologically cryptic) species.
Gene products such as proteins seldom act in isolation, but instead constitute stable multi-protein complexes performing dedicated functions.
He attempts to show that, from the perspective of the individual, the movement from Catholic to Protestant hegemony was not a liberating one, but instead constituted both an extension and intensification of the domination of spirit.
They can instead constitute an incompatibility set, such as circle, square, triangle, and other species under shape; or man, ox, horse, and other species under animal.
Based on an unusual clause in Chinese law, men have been able to argue that sex with minors — meaning those under 14 — is not rape if the girl is paid, but instead constitutes the crime of "spending the night with a young girl in a brothel," which carries a different penalty, possibly resulting in five years in jail and a fine.
We show that the large genus Cerapachys is not monophyletic but instead constitutes about ten distinct lineages, many of which appear to have diversified within a short window of time.
Fresh zebu milk and curds instead constituted a major part of the pastoralists' diet.
In contrast, none of the deletions significantly affected the presence of GFP-Atg8 on the vacuolar membrane (Fig. 2A), suggesting that autophagosome formation is not required for delivering Atg8 to the vacuolar membrane and that the vacuolar membrane instead constitutes a transient reservoir of Atg8−PE or interconnects with such a reservoir.
Some argued that the proposed change so violated the spirit of the Constitution that it would not be a valid "amendment" but would instead constitute "revolution".
