Developmentally, females are highly plastic and their physiology and morphology are influenced by various mechanisms, which result in caste differentiation. Developmental differentiation is primarily governed by nutritional stimuli, but other environmental factors such as climate and social interactions, as ...
We investigate conditions required in order for patterns to appear and explain how changes in fungal environment influence the morphology of the colony, or, in other words, how the system interacts with its environment. The experimental data obtained enable us to construct a morphological diagram ...
In liquid media the typical morphology of SIN and DX is an aggregated phenotype: bacilli form small round clumps when well agitated and a single big clump when kept still. The surrounding liquid is clear and the aggregates can be disrupted only by very vigorous vortexing (Fig.3). Figure 3 ...
mushroom-like structures inPseudomonas aeruginosa7and fruiting bodies inBacillus subtilis8andMyxococcus xanthus9. The morphology of surface-attached communities depends on external parameters such as flow velocity6or carbon sources10and adapts to environmental structures like oxygen gradients11,12. As a res...
We next investigated the potential bias caused by colony morphology or size. It is probable that when using this application to screen a transposon library for colonies deficient in ESX-1 secretion, inconsistencies in colony spotting or growth rates caused by mutations in unrelated genes could lead...
Adherent colonies were observed between days 7–18 of culture displaying cobblestone morphology and subcultured. ECFCs appeared as highly proliferative cobblestone cells (Fig. 1A, B). To assess ECFC functionality post-culture, a tube formation assay and acLDL uptake assay were performed. When ...
But Amdam [19] points out that there are actually four functional phenotypes (term: phenotype– the composite of an organism’s observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, phenology, and behavior)....

media. The concentration of h-GM CSF detected in culture media ranged from 2.8 to 6.2 ng/ml. GM-CSF expressing parasites can be maintained in culture as promastigotes for several months without any obvious effect on growth or morphology. Therefore, GM-CSF expression is not detrimental to ...
