Sentence examples for measures of microbial from inspiring English sources

Further, although stress and disturbance factors both limited some measures of microbial biomass and activity, the microbial community responded to these two factors in quite different ways.

Correlations between measures of microbial functionality (activity, richness, and diversity) and turbidity, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) were observed in horizontal-flow systems but less so in vertical-flow systems.

Addition of stoichiometric measures and other soil attributes (e.g. soil C N, C P, δ15N) in a multiple regression model explained more of the variation than a single factor plus the land use effect (though soil order still explained a small, but significant amount of variance for measures of microbial biomass).

We also suggest that N suppresses respiration in these organic horizons either by relieving the N limitation of microbial biomass synthesis, or by slowing turnover of C through the microbial pool; concurrent measures of microbial growth and turnover are needed to resolve this question.

These studies also lacked measures of microbial abundance.

We do not have credible measures of microbial richness, but development of new technologies will allow us to decide whether this is knowable or not.

Details of microbial biomass and activities and locations of enzymes are provided along with signature molecules as a measure of microbial biomass and microbial community structure.

The 3 kg samples were maintained at a constant temperature and aeration rate for 28 days, during which a respirometer recorded O2 uptake to provide a measure of microbial activity and biodegradability.

The slope of the microbial growth curves representing microbial growth ability in C, CN, CP and CNP amended samples was taken as a measure of microbial nutrient limitation.

The microbial strains inoculated in appropriate growth medium and treated with different concentrations of Ag NPs were incubated for adequate time and optical density was recorded at 600 nm giving direct measure of microbial cell density.

We chose to measure denitrification potential in the lab instead of denitrification in the field because field rates can exhibit high temporal variability since they are a product of the availability of denitrification substrates in the soil environment and not a measure of microbial community's functional potential.
