What's the difference between epiphyte and epiphytic?
Epiphyte
Definition:
(n.) An air plant which grows on other plants, but does not derive its nourishment from them. See Air plant.
(n.) A vegetable parasite growing on the surface of the body.
Example Sentences:
(1) A tenacious Anabaena epiphyte was also discovered inhabiting the surfaces of root nodules.
(2) The following propositions, derived from the theory of phased coevolution of components of the module consisting of the epiphytic bacteria, algae, snails and macrophytes, are evaluated on the basis of the present results and others including those obtained in this laboratory.
(3) Several pathogenic and epiphytic strains of P. syringae, but not E. coli, showed sequence homology to pCUV8 under normal stringency.
(4) Epiphytic populations of Pseudomonas syringae and Erwinia herbicola are important sources of ice nuclei that incite frost damage in agricultural crop plants.
(5) Epiphytic P. syringae populations undergoing rapid size changes due to growth and death under fluctuating environmental conditions in the field should be accurately enumerated by the plate count method.
(6) Five per cent suspensions of freshly harvested seaweeds were used as an inoculum to develop a selective medium for epiphytic yeasts.
(7) The cenosis is formed from individual species of the soil microbial complex and from some representatives of the epiphytic microbial cenosis which change here becoming saprophytes instead of biotrophs.
(8) The rate of acetylene reduction by the epiphytic system increased with the number of successive exposures to acetylene, a phenomenon of some significance in any calculations designed to measure the amount of nitrogen fixed in certain ecosystems.
(9) Epiphytic yeast cells dominated on the plant surface.
(10) Contributions to PCP loss were determined for rock surface (epilithic), macrophyte surface (epiphytic), sedimentary, and water column communities by measuring rates of PCP disappearance in stream water, containing ambient concentrations of PCP, in contact with representative compartmental samples.
(11) These sites included nonpolluted rivers and water from bromeliads (epiphytes) which were 30 ft (ca.
(12) A preliminary survey indicated that yeasts were epiphytic on all nine species of seaweeds and that maximal populations occurred on the chlorophytes and rhodophytes especially during the periods of warmer water.
(13) The degree of adaptation to drought presented by epiphytic species is more complicated than that shown by terrestrial species.
(14) Genetic and molecular approaches are being initiated to investigate the signaling that is likely to underlie interactions such as those between mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots and between epiphytic bacteria and plant leaf surfaces.
(15) Among 11 epiphytic microorganisms one species each of Pseudomonas, Erwinia, and Aspergillus were antagonistic to Xanthomonas translucens subsp.
(16) However, neither cutting number nor maturity affected the epiphytic microflora on standing alfalfa, and wilting following mowing had little effect on most populations.
(17) Species of epiphytic or planktonic algae might be better sources of SPC with molluscicidal effects than aquatic macrophytes.
(18) The epiphytic populations of Pseudomonas syringae were monitored on 23 barley entries planted in the field in four replications during the summer of 1986, and on six selected entries during the summer of 1987, from the second-leaf stage until senescence.
(19) Lipid-soluble toxins were isolated from a Caribbean strain of the epiphytic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum concavum Fukuyo.
(20) The relation between growth rate and the rate of accumulation of radioactive cells permitted derivation of a constant for use in calculating growth rate in natural material and in two-membered cultures of L. mucor growing epiphytically on pure cultures of marine algae.
