Even their genesis and mode of growth are comparable, but not identical, to those of hair.
Continued indefinitely, this mode of growth could mean immortality; indeed, the longest lived individual organisms ever to have existed on earth have been certain species of trees.
Although Lycopodium gametophytes are rarely found in nature, enough is known about them to recognize two fundamental types, based principally upon their mode of growth and nutrition.
This mode of growth may have had significant consequences for global carbon budgets by locking atmospheric carbon dioxide into both living and dead biomass on land.
The Fordist mode of growth became dominant in advanced capitalism during postwar reconstruction and is often credited with facilitating the long postwar boom.
It also requires a different mode of growth: animals increase in size mostly by expanding all parts of the body, whereas plants and fungi mostly extend their terminal edges.
Moreover, Brc retained their antimicrobial tolerance phenotype, despite being in the planktonic mode of growth.
*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 Fig. 6 Brc susceptibility to vancomycin after transference to planktonic mode of growth.
Results: Phenotypic analysis of biofilm and planktonic cells confirmed that mode of growth affected surface properties of S. sanguis.
The influence of the lattice misfit and the surface alloying on the mode of growth is discussed.
Under given parameters of the potentiostatic pulses an enhanced mode of growth of the polymer films is observed.
