Corallite
Definition:
(n.) A mineral substance or petrifaction, in the form of coral.
(n.) One of the individual members of a compound coral; or that part formed by a single coral animal.
Example Sentences:
Coralloid
Definition:
(a.) Having the form of coral; branching like coral.
Example Sentences:
(1) Myxococcus coralloides D produced cell-bound deoxyribonucleases (DNases) during the exponential phase of growth in liquid medium.
(2) A strain of Myxococcus coralloides producing an antibiotic capable of inhibiting growth of Gram-positive bacteria was isolated.
(3) Myxococcus coralloides D was lysogenic for a defective prophage.
(4) DNA was prepared from cyanobacteria freshly isolated from coralloid roots of natural populations of five cycad species: Ceratozamia mexicana mexicana (Mexico), C. mexicana robusta (Mexico), Dioon spinulosum (Mexico), Zamia furfuraceae (Mexico) and Z. skinneri (Costa Rica).
(5) Mature arbuscules exhibited a coralloid morphology which resulted in a considerable increase in the surface area of the endophyte exposed within the host cells.
(6) Myxococcus fulvus, Myxococcus coralloides and Archangium gephyra occurred in all biotops studied.
(7) Two methods for the isolation of an antibiotic produced by Myxococcus coralloides have been developed: the chloroform extraction method and the charcoal adsorption method.
(8) Starch isolated from the fungi Hericium ramosum and Hericium coralloides differs from that of higher plants in that it consists only of short-chain amylose molecules (32 to 45 glucose units long).
(9) On the other hand, a similar comparison of cyanobacteria freshly collected from a single Encephalartos altensteinii coralloid root and from three independently subcultured isolates from the same coralloid root revealed that these were likely to be one and the same organism.
(10) The effect of inorganic phosphate concentrations on antibiotic and extracellular protein production by Myxococcus coralloides D have been examined.
(11) Either coralloid or bulbous rhizoids form in plant material, but only the latter in axenic culture.
(12) Acid and alkaline phosphatase of Myxococcus coralloides were examined during vegetative growth in a liquid medium.
(13) In forest soils Myxococcus coralloides and Myxococcus fulvus occur frequently, in grassland soils Myxococcus coralloides and Archangium gephyra are predominating.
(14) 5S rRNA sequences were determined for the myxobacteria Cystobacter fuscus, Myxococcus coralloides, Sorangium cellulosum, and Nannocystis exedens and for the radioresistant bacteria Deinococcus radiodurans and Deinococcus radiophilus.
(15) We found msDNA in other myxobacteria, including Myxococcus coralloides, Cystobacter violaceus, Cystobacter ferrugineus (Cbfe17), Nannocystis exedens, and nine independently isolated strains of M. xanthus.
(16) A strain of Myxococcus coralloides was isolated which produced an antibiotic active against Gram-positive bacteria and also against Neisseria sp at high levels of antibiotic.
(17) Thus, a wide range of Nostoc strains appear to associate with the coralloid roots of cycads.
