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

However, most of the larger fingers fell to the substratum and underwent extended migration as slugs (4-6 hours).
Previous studies by others had shown that the ectopic expression of PTEN in anchorage-independent tumor cells greatly reduced their ability to grow in soft agar [ 4 5 6 ] . In this latter situation, however, the forced expression of ectopic PTEN effectively impairs cellular proliferation in general, even under two-dimensional culture conditions where the cells are attached to substratum [ 4 6 7 8 9 10 18 33 44 ] . It was therefore difficult to discern from these experiments how effectively and selectively PTEN participates in anchorage-dependent growth control.
There is a possibility that the appearance of microspikes around the cells under stressed conditions is an adapted behavior of the cells in order to attach to the substratum firmly.
Culmination eventually ensues, resulting in a fruiting body with a sorus of spores held several millimeters above the substratum by a vacuolated cellular stalk, and thus situated for dispersal.
It is tempting to speculate that appearance of such cellular phenotype involves formation of stress fibers, which would rearrange the cytoskeleton in ways that facilitate better anchoring of the BPAEC to the culture substratum and contribute to the ability of BPAEC to resist simulated arterial flow challenge.
