"internal colonization" is a correct phrase that can be used in written English.
For example, you could use the phrase in a sentence like this: In the 19th century, many countries saw a dramatic shift in population caused by internal colonization between urban and rural areas.
That explains why Athens was not one of the earliest colonizing powers: the possibility of "internal colonization" within Attica itself was (like Sparta's expansion into Messenia) an insurance against the kind of short-term food shortages that forced such places as Corinth and Thera to siphon off part of their male population.
Inoculation by soil spraying resulted in increased internal colonization of aerial plant parts of wheat by Azospirillum, indicating high bacterial mobility through the plants.
This is done through an investigation of Italy's ruralization and internal colonization policies, which aimed to tackle a 'demographic problem' defined through recourse to statistics and sociological analysis.
Higher levels of adhesion, spreading, and superficial proliferation were achieved for scaffolds with smaller fiber and pore diameters while cell penetration and internal colonization were enhanced for scaffolds with larger pores.
The objective of this research was to investigate the biocontrol activity of 24 endophytic bacteria (EB) isolates against Psl in vivo as well as to assess the internal colonization of cucumber tissues by two EB showing successful biocontrol activity against Psl.
The internal colonization of both maize and wheat leaves also increased in response to foliar spray inoculation, suggesting that in this case the stomata acted as a passive doorway for bacteria, since for leaf sprays the soil was covered to avoid cross contamination and root colonization by inoculant bacteria.
Significantly increased internal root colonization by diazotrophic bacteria was observed in plants from T9, where 2.5 doses of inoculant were applied in-furrow with 75%% of N, in comparison to plants from the non-inoculated controls (T1 and T2).
Internal leaf colonization by diazotrophs, as estimated by the most-probable number (MPN) technique, was significantly superior in plants from treatments 6, 7, 10, and 11, when compared to plants from the non-inoculated controls (T1 and T2) (Table 4).
The words ring true today as the country struggles with an identity shaped by history, colonization, internal and external wars, and a geographic location in a rough neighborhood of the world.
The parental B6 and D2 strains were included in all experiments as an internal control for colonization levels.
These data indicate that B510 cells colonized internal rice tissues, although the colonization level was lower than that reported for other endophytes, including Herbaspirillum sp. B501 (∼10 CFU g−1 fresh weight).
