Sentence examples for pure monocultures from inspiring English sources

Understanding concerning natural microbially mediated processes has been severely retarded by the common requirement to study microorganisms only as pure monocultures under aseptic conditions, in spite of the fact that, in virtually all real environments, microbial strains function in concert.

Understanding of natural microbially mediated processes has been severely retarded by the common requirement to study microorganisms only as pure monocultures under aseptic conditions, in spite of the fact that, in all real environments, microbial strains function in a community (Hamer [2010]).

Pure monocultures of E. coli and S. aureus were subjected to biotyping using automated VITEK 2 biotyping system, the API20E and the ID 32 Staph system (bioMérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France).

From Okinawa, where the relationship between the damselfish and Polysiphonia alga attains obligate mutualism, a single species of Polysiphonia dominated the territories of S. nigricans to form nearly pure monocultures, whereas other Polysiphonia species rarely coexisted within the territories.

From the standpoint of sample collection for toxicity testing and "-omic" analyses, the advantage of the conventional monoculture static and bioreactor systems is that they contain a relatively pure population of a single cell type (e.g. hepatocytes) and, therefore, fewer complications regarding cross-contamination with sample collection for proteomic, transcriptomic or metabolomic analysis.
