lag phase in a sentence

Examples

1. Also, presence of yeast autolysate reduces the lag phase of growth of " Neisseria ", thus enhancing both size and number of colonies.
2. When both nitrite and organic substances are present, cells can exhibit biphasic growth, first the nitrite is used and after a lag phase, organic matter is oxidized.
3. This logistic model of growth is produced by a population introduced to a new habitat or with very poor numbers going through a lag phase of slow growth at first.
4. For microbes in growth media in closed ampoules, IMC heat flow data can also be used to closely estimate basic microbial growth parameters; i . e . maximum growth rate and duration time of the lag phase before maximum growth rate is achieved.
5. Such a lag phase would be expected to occur in the assay as cells growing slowly or not at all during the initial exposure to antimicrobial peptides in the low-salt buffer are shifted to exponential growth upon addition of twice-concentrated rich media.
6. When " Escherichia coli " is exposed to a temperature drop from 37 to 10 degrees Celsius, a 4 5 hour lag phase occurs, after which cell to survive in temperatures greater than the optimum, possibly by condensation of the chromosome and organisation of the prokaryotic nucleoid.

If this metabolic lag phase increases in the presence of the antimicrobial peptide, it could be considered a form of transient bacteriostatic activity in category 3, above, although other sources of transient bacteriostatic activity, such as a delay due to the time required for the repair of damaged cell structures such as cell walls or cell membranes, are possible.
