These statoblasts are the dormant structures that survive when the bryozoan dies in the fall or during a drought; they form a new bryozoan colony when favourable environmental conditions again prevail.
Certain genera of Gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus, Clostridium, Sporohalobacter, Anaerobacter, and Heliobacterium, can form highly resistant, dormant structures called endospores.
However, some pathogens can persist in the soil for several years as spores or other dormant structures, in absence of a host plant [ 168].
Yet these things it could do just fine as a semi-dormant religious structure, with Father Kevork now and again flying in.
Intermittently broken by ancient dormant volcanic structures and adversely affected by poor drainage and high soil acidities, this interior plain has provided a less-attractive environment for human habitation.
A detailed map of modern surface deformation indicates two active coalescing sinkholes, whereas the interpretation of old aerial photographs reveals the presence of two additional dormant sinkholes beneath human structures that might reactivate in the near future.
Although conidiating structures or dormant conidia have access to oxygen, assuming ingress of oxygen through the cell wall, the lack of an easily metabolised substrate such as glucose presumably leads either to a preference for maintenance metabolism through fermentation of non-sugar substrates, or complete dormancy.
A fluxional behavior of the polynuclear structure of the dormant species accounts for the fast and reversible exchange/transfer reaction of alkyl chains between lanthanide and magnesium metallic centers.
A typical appearance of PC still prevailing in January is shown in Fig. 8D G, when the cell structure showed typical dormant traits as indicated by the missing starch grains.
Cysts are thick-walled structures produced by dormant members of Azotobacter, Bdellovibrio (bdellocysts), and Myxococcus (myxospores).
