Placement on existing logs and stumps may also facilitate colonization by species specialized on CWD, although care should be taken to avoid destruction of these substrates.
We hypothesize that these cell surface protein genes are overrepresented in the air microbial community because they improve survival in the atmosphere, but they may also facilitate colonization of human building occupants or promote adhesion of cells to the fibers of air filters.
These mechanisms of tolerance induction may facilitate microbial colonization in the newborn, so establishing its own microbiome.
Biochar may facilitate mycorrhizal colonization of the plant roots [111], thus causing increased selectivity for P in the mediated P uptake pathway.
Viral infections may facilitate bacterial colonization by damaging host respiratory epithelium, making bacterial adherence or invasion easier.
Such resistant bacterial strains can spread from animals to the environment, which may facilitate the colonization of persons who are not involved in animal husbandry (8 ).
491 had gained numerous elements of genomic mobility that may confer some global fitness to the strain, but only a few amino acid substitutions in traits that may facilitate the colonization of CF airways.
Evidence also suggests that this strain might be spreading from animals to the environment, which may facilitate the colonization or infection of persons who are not involved in animal husbandry (23 ).
