Example sentences for: acta

How can you use “acta” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • We repeated the experiments carrying out parallel 4-hour time courses simultaneously for mock infections, wild-type (10403S), Δ actA (DP-L1942) and Δ prfA (DP-L1075), with time points taken at 0, 60, 120 and 240 minutes after infection.

  • Microarray analysis of the actA time courses revealed that the host transcriptional responses were remarkably similar to those observed during infection with the wild-type strain.

  • prfA mutant bacteria could still be seen associated with cells by phase-contrast microscopy at 4 hours post-infection (Figure 1d), albeit at much lower levels than wild-type or actA bacteria as they were no longer replicating.

  • In addition, a single experiment was performed where a mock infection, wild-type, actA and prfA mutants were all compared under the same conditions.

  • Detailed comparisons of the response to wild-type and actA mutant infections were designed to uncover gene-expression programs specific to the motility phase of the infection, when bacterially directed actin polymerization is induced to move the bacteria through the cytoplasm.
