In natural environments, resistant organisms can be indigenous or introduced through natural or anthropogenic causes (21, 22 ).
Our study is promising building blocks for large-area, mechanical flexible, ultralow-refractive-index, superhydrophobic and environment-resistant surfaces.
But people who buy toilet tissue for their homes — even those who identify themselves as concerned about the environment — are resistant to toilet tissue made from recycled paper.
Large-scale insect outbreaks can weaken or kill trees over vast areas, thus creating an environment less resistant to fire.
Now there are hopes that the new guidelines will speed the commercialization of salmon that have had genes inserted to make them grow faster, pigs whose manure is less damaging to the environment, cattle resistant to mad-cow disease and animals whose meat or milk is more nutritious.
On the contrary, the viscosity of the cumulus hialuronic matrix provides an environment more resistant to oviduct contractions, where a chemoattractant gradient could be kept stable along the time [4].
Dioxins are persistent in the environment and resistant to biodegradation.
Dioxins are persistent in the environment and resistant to biodegradation and are considered human carcinogens [ 21].
Higher chlorinated PCBs are thought to be more persistent in the environment, more resistant to biotransformation, and stay longer in the body [ 7, 8].
They thrive wherever they have an opportunity to do so and we, as humans, have created that environment for resistant bacteria.
