  • The morphological, genome size, and restriction endonuclease similarities between AR1 and phage T4 were striking. (cdc.gov)
  • This issue arises because many key lineages and in general most protist taxa cannot be successfully cultivated 2 , 3 (at least long-term) or go undetected due to their small size or morphological simplicity (i.e., exist as cryptic species 4 ). (nature.com)
  • There is also extensive size variation within a species, with strains of some species differing by more than 50 % in genome size (primary sources). (harvard.edu)
  • Just as strains of plants vary for traits like seed color or fruit size, they also vary in the defense compounds that they make. (utah.edu)
  • However, analyzing another layer of traits in the city, such as the average per capita income, average rent for an apartment or size and construction of buildings could strengthen those inferences and unlock new insights. (fems-microbiology.org)
