Sentence examples for capabilities of bacteria from inspiring English sources

The small size, simple design, and broad metabolic capabilities of bacteria allow them to grow and divide very rapidly and to inhabit and flourish in almost any environment.

However, only a limited number of studies regarding the capabilities of bacteria to degrade oil and hydrocarbons have been conducted under high pressure (Grossi et al. [2010]).

The past few years have seen a variety of interesting metabolic engineering efforts to improve the capabilities of bacteria and yeasts to overproduce xylitol, mannitol, and sorbitol.

Though this study dwelt only in the realm of identifying fluoride removal capabilities of bacteria, still it can be worthwhile to infer that development of a bioremediation system for defluoridation can be achieved either by immobilization of Acinetobacter sp. RH5 to prevent washing away by flowing water, or by use of sequence batch reactors to achieve longevity and maintenance of the bacteria.

Given the structural and functional diversity of previously explored TOMMs, a fundamental understanding of the synthetic capabilities of bacteria and archaea to produce these natural products is desirable.
