(n.) The formation of a new individual, either animal or vegetable, by a process of budding; an asexual method of reproduction; gemmulation; gemmiparity. See Budding.
(n.) The arrangement of buds on the stalk; also, of leaves in the bud.
Example Sentences:
(1) The number of cells gemmation is the same at suboptimum and optimum temperature but it decreases at supraoptimum one.
(2) The ascospores were found in thick-walled bags, the asci; the arthrospores, that undergo gemmation, are eliminated through canals, disseminating the disease.
(3) Vesicles were formed by gemmation of enterocyte microvilli from the lateral membrane in contraction of microvillous actin skeleton.
(4) There is a supposition that the vesicle gemmation is a natural process of the intestinal secretion to fulfil numerous important function: it promotes the penetration of enterocyte hydrolases into the parietal layer; equilibrates an increase in the enterocyte volume during absorption.
(5) The growth specific rate, cells dimensions, the number of cells gemmation, juvenile and postjuvenile development phases duration have been measured on the yeast turbidostate culture Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 14 growing under different temperature conditions.
(6) About 90% of the bacteria in nodules were found in the form of bacteroids from the early phase of the plant growth (budding) to ripening when gemmated arthrospores could be observed on some bacteroids.
(7) Numerous investigators have shown that the development of the bursal lymphoid follicle in chicken begins with the formation of epithelial gemmations called epithelial buds.
Pullulation
Definition:
(n.) A germinating, or budding.
Example Sentences:
(1) The pullulation and resistance of this species is explained by its polygymy.
(2) The recently recognized physiopathology is that of arthritis due to immune complexes related to pullulation of Escherichia coli and of Bacilus fragilis.
(3) these transformations could be a consequence of bacterial gastric pullulation resulting from certain hypochlorhydric conditions.
(4) Among stinging diptera pullulating in coastal salt marshes Ceratopogonidae gnats (mainly of genus Culicoides and Oecacta) are especially troublesome, particularly in Southeastern U. S. A. and Caribbean area, escaping attacks of most predators by their tiny size.
(5) Fungal infection is almost a constant finding in digestive grafts together with microbial pullulation, with a linear relation to pH.
(6) When intestinal obstruction occurs, the risk of hematogenous diffusion is directly dependent from local stasis and bacterial pullulation which can be evaulated with duodenal, jejunal or fecal samples.
