(20) Either d- or l-leucine (10(-3)m) and unsaturated long-chain fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic, and arachidonic (10(-4)m) significantly stimulated macroconidia germination of Microsporum gypseum.
Viviparous
Definition:
(a.) Producing young in a living state, as most mammals, or as those plants the offspring of which are produced alive, either by bulbs instead of seeds, or by the seeds themselves germinating on the plant, instead of falling, as they usually do; -- opposed to oviparous.
Example Sentences:

(2) The uterine epithelium of the viviparous Salamandra atra and the ovoviviparous Salamandra salamandra was studied in non pregnant and ovulating females and in females during different stages of pregnancy.
(3) Based on in vivo and in vitro modulation of immune responses by placental products, it is concluded that: 1) allograft enhancement and high production of IgG1 antibodies are not linked to the same glycoprotein, 2) the immunomodulators in relation to the protection of viviparity appear to be located at the exclusion limits of Sephacryl S-200 (i.e.
(4) Splenic cells from pregnant and non-pregnant viviparous lizards (Chalcides ocellatus) were stimulated in vitro with the mitogens, concanavalin A (Con A), phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
(5) It therefore appears that in the genus Wuchereria, as in the other viviparous filarioids, the phenomenon of speciation is evident first of all in the morphology of the microfilaria, the stage most susceptible to selection pressures.
(6) A plasma steroid binding protein (SHBP) with medium-high affinity and limited capacity was characterized in the viviparous water snake, Nerodia.
(7) We investigated the regulation of Re by progesterone in a mammalian model (proestrous hamster uterus) and an avian model (DES-primed chick oviduct), under the same assay conditions, in an effort to compare progesterone action in viviparous and oviparous species.
(8) This character opposes these species to the other viviparous Filariae and stresses the originality of the Oswaldofilariinar.
(9) The neurosecretory A cells of the pars intercerebralis of the viviparous fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes present important changes during the genital cycle.
(10) Viviparity, on the other hand, allows the growth of a much larger fetus, offers great protection and is highly efficient.
