Sentence examples for colony methods from inspiring English sources

A variety of metaheuristic search techniques are found to be applicable for non-functional testing including simulated annealing, tabu search, genetic algorithms, ant colony methods, grammatical evolution, genetic programming (and its variants including linear genetic programming) and swarm intelligence methods.

The optimization uses a variant of the ant colony method.

For the rapid detection and isolation of PHB-producing bacteria, 0.02% alcoholic solution of Sudan black B and Nile blue A, viable colony method [20] was used.

After incubation, the plates were inspected for presumptive colonies before Gram staining, and cells resembling with Campylobacter were subcultured onto mCCDA by streaking colony method and incubated for 2 to 5 d at 42°C under microaerophilic conditions.

The Sudan black B-positive isolates were further screened by Nile blue A, a more specific stain for PHA by a more rapid and sensitive, viable colony method [22].

Kitamura and Doi [31] first demonstrated this viable colony method on agar plates; they induced the isolates to accumulate PHA by culturing in E2 medium, containing 2% (w/v) glucose before Nile blue A staining.

This is not to say that the individual mutations themselves could not be identified separately by colony screening methods, but rather that the iterative process of selection and amplification allowed us to converge on these mutations more rapidly.

Considering the long duplication times of mycobacteria, the advantages of using bioluminescence as a reporter to assay anti-mycobacterial agents soon became evident when compared to the more traditional colony count methods.
