Growers trim the vines so that only three melons will grow on each tree.
In this approach all trophic links, measured by the ability of each consumer (bacteria) to grow on each resource (single carbon source) are summarized in matrices to characterize network properties of different communities.
Gardeners should take care not to harvest more than about a quarter of the stems that grow on each plant; taking more will sap the rhubarb's energy for future years.
The nucleation barrier caused that it is easier for NZF and BNF to grow on each other rather than on the surface of Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si.
Structural characterization by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy showed that there are no other impurity phases but BNF and NZF, and the nucleation barrier caused that it is easier for NZF and BNF to grow on each other rather than on the surface of Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si.
Then we made the assumption that each of these carbon sources could be transported into the cell (i.e. to function as intracellular compounds) and re-tested whether the in silico model can grow on each of them.
The MBC of the derivatives was determined as the lowest concentration of the derivative required to allow less than five colonies to grow on each plate (Qin et al. 2006).
