Sentence examples for compost colonization from inspiring English sources

The level of compost colonization (COCO) per genotype was recorded on a scale of 1 10 on day 14 after spawning (Table 1), where a score 1 indicates very poorly colonized compost (or 10%% surface colonization), and score 10 indicates very good colonization (or 100%% surface colonization).
