This includes the tolerance of proteins to amino acid replacements [ 3], the ability of genetic networks to withstand alterations to its parts [ 4], the stability of cellular processes to the stochastic variations of gene expression levels [ 5], or the resilience of embryonic development to environmental or genetic changes [ 6].
Despite the adaptive ability of Bacillus species which are capable of withstanding alteration of their surrounding environment by forming spores, B. cereus were still inhibited and eventually killed by all types of honey tested [ 22].
We take a pattern from the designer and build the costume with the expectation that it will last 25 to 30 years and withstand multiple alterations.
The planet will, in all likelihood, be able to withstand whatever drastic alterations to its ecosystem we've unwittingly unleashed.
Transcriptional profiling studies using whole brain from Mecp2-null mice revealed only subtle gene expression changes (22), and studies investigating cerebellar gene expression changes identified very few alterations that did not withstand a correction for false discovery rate (FDR) (23).
The adaptive alterations attained by cells to withstand different types of insults are collectively referred to as the stress phenotypes of cancers.
These alterations enable the plant to withstand freezing by creating a chronic response that protects the integrity of the cellular membranes, enhances anti-oxidative mechanisms and accumulates molecular cryoprotectants [ 6].
Mutations acquired to withstand chloroquine exposure therefore give rise to significant biochemical alterations in the parasite.
The upregulation indicate alterations in the plasma membrane structure to withstand the hostile environmental conditions, which is likely to affect the tolerance of yeast to acetic acid, as reported for other chemical stresses [ 36].
Other resistance mechanisms may be due to alterations in the chromosomal DNA which enables the bacteria to withstand the harsh environment and multiply.
