Sentence examples for estimates of microbial from inspiring English sources

Intra-storm sampling also allowed for estimates of microbial loading rates (both total and particle-associated) and cumulative storm-induced microbial load.

During the first 14 d following bST administration, estimates of microbial protein production derived from milk allantoin may be inaccurate due to increased milk production without an increase in DMI.

Therefore estimates of microbial gamma diversity of a specific habitat should take fine scale beta diversity patterns into account rather than relying solely on alpha diversity information.

Obtaining accurate estimates of microbial diversity using rDNA profiling is the first step in most metagenomics projects.

These techniques provide different estimates of microbial density in air, sometimes by a few orders of magnitude (Gandolfi et al. 2013).

Terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism estimates of microbial community structure have been found to be generally robust and concur with alternative approaches such as 454 pyrosequencing in documenting microbial community differences (Pilloni et al. 2012).

The measured microbiological characteristics included eight different hydrolytic soil enzyme activities involved in C, P and S cycles, bacterial 16S rDNA length heterogeneity profiles (LH-PCR) and total DNA yield as a relative estimate of microbial biomass.

While 16S rRNA gene microbial community sequencing has revolutionized our understanding of community composition and diversity over time and space, it only provides a crude estimate of microbial functional and metabolic potential.

Approaches based on 16S rRNA sequencing, however, provide a biased estimate of microbial diversity due to the wide variability in copy number of the 16S gene even within closely related organisms, and due to amplification biases inherent in PCR.

To obtain an estimate of microbial density, we plated 10 µl of the water from each tank in triplicate onto tryptone soya agar (Oxoid, Basingstoke, UK), incubated the plates aerobically at 32°C, and counted the number of bacterial colonies at 24 and 48 h.

The present study compares estimates of rumen microbial nitrogen (MN) production derived from duodenal flow measurements with those obtained from urinary purine derivatives (PD) excretion.
