(a.) Resembling, or pertaining to, an ant or ants.
Example Sentences:
(1) Simple hexane and formic acid-hexane extraction methods, involving pretreatment of the serum with formic acid, were compared by radiometric and by paper chromatographic and gas chromatographic analysis.
(2) Ten tissue sections from 10 examples of Bowen's disease were excised from paraffin blocks, rehydrated, and incubated in 90% formic acid at 45 degrees C for 18 h.

(3) The green pigments from the fungi of the genera Trichoderma and Penicillium were partially extracted with formic acid.
(4) Further purification was performed by gel chromatography using a Superose 12 column eluted in 70% formic acid.
(5) The six silage treatments were untreated corn silage (low nitrogen); untreated corn silage and untreated alfalfa silage (1:1); untreated corn silage and formaldehyde and formic acid-treated alfalfa silage (1:1); ammonia-treated corn silage (low nitrogen); treated corn silage and untreated alfalfa silage (1:1); or treated corn silage and treated alfalfa silage (1:1).
(6) Heating, growth of fungi, and days until spoilage were delayed by all acid additions during refermentation, with propionic more effectivethan formic.
(7) The eggs of Dicrocoelium dendriticum were induced to open by solutions of formic acid and caproic acid (Table 1).
(8) They were then decalcified for 14 days in 5% formic acid-sodium citrate, sectioned serially at 7 microns and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, Masson's stain, and silver impregnated stain.
(9) Liver microsomes isolated from rats fed the 3 diets metabolized MAM to formic acid and methanol in vitro, but liver microsomes from rats fed the continuous ethanol diet were 12 to 15 times more active than liver microsomes from rats fed the control diet.
(10) At elevated pH and temperature, chloral hydrate readily decomposed and chloroform and formic acid were detected as products.
(11) This embryotrophic factor was extracted from BSA dissolved in formic acid by membrane filtration (membrane cutoff of M(r) 10,000) and then freeze-drying of the filtrate.
(12) The enhanced sensitivity of some Salmonella typhimurium strains to the mutagenic action of a number of chemicals appears to be due to the defect in the uvrB gene product and not to an inability to produce H-2-S or to the absence of formic acid hydrogenlyase which also characterizes these strains.
(13) Studies using H2(18)O and 18O2 demonstrated that, in the cleavage of (4-hydroxybenzoyl)methanol to 4-hydroxybenzoic and formic acids by an enzyme from an Alicaligenes sp., oxygen is incorporated into both products from dioxygen and not from water.
(14) 60% Formic acid, necessary for solubilization of structural polypeptides of poliovirus and other proteins, modified at the cysteines, was used together with 2-propanol or acetonitrile as organic modifier for gradient elution in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
(15) In sharp contrast, both intact M1 protein and the C-terminal 15-kilodalton formic acid fragment were able to inhibit viral transcription markedly.
(16) The concentrate from this step was applied to a gel filtration column of Sephacryl S-200 and eluted with 10% formic acid.
(17) In addition, evidence is presented that formic acid is crossing the brushborder membrane of rabbit renal cortex by non-ionic diffusion.
(18) After EDTA or formic acid decalcification, a range of DNA denaturation schedules was assessed and immunohistological detection of BrdU-containing nuclei was performed using the Sera Lab anti-BrdU antibody MAS 250b.
(19) Lactic acid was the major product; ethyl alcohol, acetic acid, formic acid, and carbon dioxide were formed in smaller amounts.
(20) The sample is transferred to a volumetric flask, a small volume of formic acid is added to dissolve and stabilize the ergotamine, and the solution is diluted to volume with methanol.
Formication
Definition:
(n.) A sensation resembling that made by the creeping of ants on the skin.
