In conjunction, cancers that develop bone metastases likely have the capacity to utilize these unique bone environments for colonization and bone destruction.
Clostridium acetobutylicum, a promising organism for biomass transformation, has the capacity to utilize a wide variety of carbon sources.
These studies together suggest that arboviruses in natural systems have the capacity to utilize complementation in co-infecting cells.
Ruminants have the capacity to utilize low quality, bulky feeds such as pasture, crop and industrial by-products which have few alternative uses.
Since the generation of ATP through OXPHOS is coupled to the continuous replication of mtDNA, GBM cells do not have the capacity to utilize OXPHOS effectively, probably due to mtDNA mutations, which have been identified in GBM patient tumors.
Previous studies suggest that arboviruses in natural systems may have the capacity to utilize complementation to maintain non-viable variants in co-infecting cells [ 10- 12], suggesting that such interactions could also readily occur among variants with more intermediate fitness levels.
It is noteworthy that Spiroplasmas are not known to have the capacity to utilize proteins as nutrient sources (Chang and Chen, 1983), supporting the claim that lipids carried by Lpp (and not the Lpp protein itself) are the factors required for the proliferation of Spiroplasma.
Unlike conventional heterotrophic microorganisms that consume carbohydrates and amino acids, prokaryotic chemolithoautotrophs have evolved the capacity to utilize reduced chemical compounds to fix CO2 and drive metabolic processes.
Moreover, these early - and avoidable - deficiencies compromise later development and limit the capacity to utilize compensatory opportunities provided later.
The model plant Arabidopsis has the capacity to acquire and utilize a number of amino acids for growth, including the amide glutamine (Gln) [3].
"Do we have the capacity to conserve, much less utilize, all this diversity?" he asks.
