ALLEN When a man is driving in a car and looks out the window and notices a woman with a great body, as he strains to check her face out, how does she know to keep turning so the back of her head is always toward him?
First, radioactively labelled glucose was added to samples of different Prochlorococcus strains to check whether this sugar was being taken up; then Prochlorococcus cells were separated from contaminants by using a cell sorter coupled to a flow cytometer.
The mutant strain was also tested on host plants of other rhizobial strains to check whether the mutation had an effect on host range.
We used PCR and sequencing of mlsB module 7 from the Japanese MU strain 753 to check the domain arrangement and found that it has an AT-II (malonate) domain, which is different to that of MU98912 China but which is the expected arrangement for mycolactone A/B synthesis.
Among 100 strains isolated to check the presence of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, 11 grew on aromatic substrates and most of them attacked aromatics through monoxygenase enzymatic systems.
A preliminary study with clinical specimens showed no cross reaction with other non- Shigella strains, however, to check the real performance of the developed test, a larger positive sample size need to be further investigated.
Because the assembly did not cover the whole insertion for one of the strains and to check our indel predictions, chloroplast regions X, Y, and Z were amplified by PCR and sequenced (primers available in supplementary table S2, Supplementary Material online).
Two laboratories also subjected the 20 control strains to Check-points PCR assay (laboratory 3) and Check-MDR Carba Assay (laboratory 6).
Finally, we think that it would have been fair, since our R. felis strain is available, to check the presence of plasmids prior concluding that our data resulted from an error.
