The aim of the present work was to analyze whether the location of the dental biofilm was associated with shifts in the membrane fatty acid profile, and whether such shifts could affect certain virulence factors of strains of Streptococcus mutans.

However these indels did not result in stop codons or frame shifts that could affect functionality.
Effects on child growth and development Climate change experts predict that warming and shifting rains could affect crop production, which could reduce food availability.
doi: 10.1111/evo.12029 Increasing pCO2 (partial pressure of CO2) in an "acidified" ocean will affect phytoplankton community structure, but manipulation experiments with assemblages briefly acclimated to simulated future conditions may not accurately predict the long-term evolutionary shifts that could affect inter-specific competitive success.
These problems as a result of a shift in responsibility could affect performance of CHWs [ 114].
{Associated Press] Rising global temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns could affect water flows on Africa's Nile and Limpopo rivers, raising the risk of conflicts between Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe in a region that is already chronically dry, a study says.
They have collaborated on an intricate model known as Hotspots, which builds on earlier computer software to estimate how shifting climate patterns could affect New Zealand's North and South Islands, while adding in new elements to show how those climate patterns would affect the potential distribution of disease-bearing mosquitoes, should they be introduced.
REBECCA MEAD: feverishly trying to finish eating dinner so I can start typing is my last minute pre-debate thought DAVID GRANN: With polls so close at this late date, even a small shift in public opinion could affect outcome of the election.
