Sentence examples for morphology variant from inspiring English sources

Metabolic proficiency of the colony morphology variant was a key determinant for survival in murine airways.

In contrast, the complex trait of a colony morphology variant found in a TBCF10839 transposon mutant was not reproduced by the insertion of a transposon into the homologous gene of the PAO1 strain in 16 of 19 examined loci indicating that the genetic background is essential for shaping complex phenotypes (Table 3).

Colony morphology variants were caused most frequently by the inactivation of metabolic genes.

Colony morphology variants displaying similar phenotypes have also been isolated from P. aeruginosa PAO1 biofilms [40].

The 3,500 transposon mutants of the library were assayed for colony morphology variants.

To evaluate and quantify the colony morphology variants, planktonic and sessile cultures were harvested at various time points, serially diluted, and plated onto THY-catalase plates.

By utilizing the approach of signature tagged mutagenesis (STM) [32] [34], colony morphology variants were identified by screening a STM minitransposon library grown under different culture conditions in vitro.

The colony morphology variants were allocated to eight distinguishable morphotypes all of which are regularly recovered from chronically infected CF lungs.

In this paper, we describe the genetic repertoire of P. aeruginosa to generate morphology variants by single loss-of-function mutations.

The true proportion of metabolic gene knock-outs in colony morphology variants is probably even higher because a library was screened that had been counterselected for auxotrophic mutants.

To mimic dissociative behaviour of isogenic strains in lungs, pools of 25 colony morphology variants were tested for competitive fitness in an acute murine airway infection model.
