In this study, using engineered yeast strains and mathematical models devoid of possibilities for partner choice, we examined how through partner fidelity feedback heterotypic cooperation between microbes may be protected against cheaters.
Our community is a bona-fide partner fidelity feedback system devoid of any possibility for partner recognition, and it looks very much like the situation between legume and cooperating and cheater rhizobia: exclusion of cheaters.
After a two-year feasibility study of potential release sites, the area of the Cambrian mountains was selected by the VWT as offering the best hope of a successful reintroduction, not least because it was largely devoid of public roads – the possibility of being run over by motor vehicles being one of the biggest risks for the animals.
Far better to reduce everything to a single dumbed-down inescapable standard, relentlessly mediocre and devoid of any color or possibility, like a tapioca straitjacket.
Detection of PrPSc by PMCA in hamster plasma samples devoid of platelets suggests the possibility of cell-free PrPSc in hamster plasma [ 25, 26].
Our identification of pdh2 mutants and the possibility to generate double mutants completely devoid of ProDH activity opens new possibilities to dissect the contribution of Pro degradation to Pro toxicity and stress tolerance.
Two studies in which epigenetic silencing marks were profiled in prostate cancer cells (PC3) revealed that loci marked with H3K27me3 are devoid of DNA hypermethylation, raising the possibility that gene silencing by H3K27me3 occurs independently of promoter methylation [ 20, 21].
In contrast, early rifR mutations likely occurred in a REL1206 background that was fairly devoid of other new mutations, thus minimizing possibilities for either clonal interference or epistatic interactions with other new mutations.
One possibility is that AID−/− B cells are devoid of inhibitory signals though FcγRIIB due to the lack of IgG Ab production.
Most scientists discounted that possibility -- how could there be life in soil devoid of the building blocks of life?
The first possibility is that the cadherin-bound/Wnt-bound β-catenin intersection is devoid of physiological significance.
