Sentence examples for mutants become sensitive from inspiring English sources

Growth studies presented here (see Fig. 2) showed that hem1Δ mutants become sensitive to low and high pH, high salt concentration and to dimethylsulfoxide.

The tpx mutant became sensitive to H2O2 and NO compared to the wild type strain.

If SepF stimulates polymerization of FtsZ one may assume that a sepF mutant becomes sensitive for reduced FtsZ levels, but this is not the case (Hamoen et al, 2006).

F− uptake in micro-organisms also occurs as a function of the culture medium pH gradient [40], [41]; F−-resistant mutants become more sensitive to effects of F− at low pH [42].

To explore why Gal4 was largely immune from silencing at HMR whereas Abf1 is sensitive, we tested whether mutant forms of Gal4 that compromise some aspect of its function would become sensitive to silencing.

his eyes become sensitive.

The observation that H3-L61I and H3-L61V mutants do not show a temperature sensitive phenotype at 37° might indicate that although the structural rigidity imparted by isoleucine and valine at position 61 of histone H3 interferes with Spt16−interactions, it does not cause cells to become sensitive to elevated temperatures.

Many tumor types are sensitive to TRAIL or become sensitive after treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs [ 3].

However, in another report, an ahpC::Km(r) mutant strain [38] showed no increased sensitivity to H2O2 but became sensitive to cumene hydroperoxide exposure which implies that it can only degrade organic hydroperoxides.
