Sentences with phrase «guts of animals»

Once resistant bacteria are in the gut of an animal, then one of several things happens, McKenna explains in an interview with FORTUNE: When the animal is taken to the slaughterhouse, the mutated microbes in their digestive tracts can sometimes «get splashed on the meat.»

The DEC said test results from 2002 to 2012 show that coliform bacteria — the kind that come from the guts of animals, including humans — are low enough to support swimming.

When they mix in the gut of an animal, the cholesterol molecules are competitively inhibited from passing into the blood stream and instead are excreted.

The newly discovered toxin does raise some concern that botulinum toxin could turn up in antibiotic - resistant enterococci, perhaps stemming from gene transfer in the gut of an animal harboring both C. botulinum and Enterococcus.

In our guts, and in the guts of all animals, resides a robust ecosystem of microbes known as the microbiome.

To contain epidemics, antibiotics are used, which can then give rise to antibiotic resistance - carrying bacteria in the gut of the animals.

The approach, called tunable infrared laser direct absorption spectroscopy, detects the ratio of methane isotopes, which can provide a «fingerprint» to differentiate between two common origins: microbial, in which microorganisms, typically living in wetlands or the guts of animals, produce methane as a metabolic byproduct; or thermogenic, in which organic matter, buried deep within the Earth, decays to methane at high temperatures.

The guts of these animals produce a natural antifreeze — glycoproteins that bind to ice crystals as they begin to form and prevent them from growing large enough to fatally rupture the walls of cells.

If they did they'd become extinct, and so the evolutionary strategy that many plants, particularly cereal grains have taken to prevent predation is to evolve toxic compounds so that the predator of the seeds can't eat them, so that they can put their seeds in the soil where they're meant to be to grow a new plant and not in the gut of an animal to feed it.»

Microbial sources refer to microorganisms that typically live in wetlands or the guts of animals, like cows, which produce methane as a metabolic byproduct.
