Filamentous

The study was originally launched in an effort to understand what is delivering nutrients to a perceived increase in invasive milfoil and observed filamentous algae growth in recent years.

Wei quickly discovered that the droplets were instead transforming into strange filamentous structures.

These lineages share a common ancestor that lived over 400 million years ago, and fossils from this time period show evidence that plants were already forming beneficial relationships with filamentous microbes.

An altogether different phage type, the filamentous phages, make the host cell continually secrete new virus particles.

Basidiomycota are filamentous fungi composed of hyphae (except for yeasts), and reproduce sexually via the formation of specialized club-shaped end cells called basidia that normally bear external meiospores (usually four).

Colonization of the small intestine also requires the toxin coregulated pilus (TCP), a thin, flexible, filamentous appendage on the surface of bacterial cells.

Each stereocilium inserts as a rootlet into a dense filamentous actin mesh known as the cuticular plate.

Fossils of what are thought to be filamentous photosynthetic organisms have been dated at 3.4 billion years old.

Other morphologies have also been described: spindle shaped, rod shaped, filamentous, icosahedral and spherical.

The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is a prominent model system for understanding the control and function of cytosine methylation.

The integrins thus serve to link two networks across the plasma membrane: the extracellular ECM and the intracellular actin filamentous system.

These probably had an isomorphic alternation of generations and were probably filamentous.

The vast majority (96.3%) are tailed with and only 230 (3.7%) are polyhedral, filamentous or pleomorphic.
