This species ingests filamentous algae by grasping the filament, bending it like a hairpin, and drawing it into the cytopharynx, where it is broken up into fragments and enclosed in digestive vacuoles.
The fibrinogen turns into fibrin, an insoluble, filamentous protein which traps the platelets and causes them to link up into a quilt that helps stop bleeding.The two researchers wondered if they could subvert this system to gather drug-carrying nanoparticles into the right place.
Which is why Dr Zheng was stunned to find on Tianyulong confuciusi what are conservatively described in her paper as "long, singular and unbranched filamentous integumentary structures".
The fibrinogen turns into an insoluble, filamentous protein called fibrin, which traps the platelets and causes them to link up into a quilt that helps stop bleeding.The two researchers wondered if they could subvert this system to gather drug-carrying nanoparticles into the right place.
Cyanobacteria may be unicellular or filamentous.
Buds that are pinched off a hypha of a filamentous fungus behave as spores; that is, they germinate, each giving rise to a structure called a germ tube, which develops into a new hypha.
Filamentous forms have cells arranged in chains like strings of beads.
Moss is a term erroneously applied to many different plants (Spanish moss, a flowering plant; Irish moss, a red alga; pond moss, filamentous algae; and reindeer moss, a lichen).
The development of the moss gametophyte illustrates the transition from a filamentous to a highly organized three-dimensional growth form.
The moss spore germinates into a filamentous plant, the protonema, which later produces a leafy shoot.
The virus particle is enveloped in a fatty membrane; is variable in shape, from spheroidal to filamentous, and in size, from 60 to 300 nanometres (1 nanometre = 10-9 metre) in longest dimension; is studded with spikelike protein projections; and contains ribonucleic acid (RNA).
