"Strobilurin" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
A rare or obsolete word!
A strobilurin is a type of antibiotic that was used to treat certain bacterial infections. It was a class of antibiotics that inhibit the synthesis of cell wall peptidoglycans, which are essential for the survival of bacteria. They were first discovered in the 1980s, but their development was eventually discontinued due to resistance issues and the discovery of more effective alternatives.
The word "strobila" refers to the total of eight or more chains ( strobila) of cells in a ferns or horsetails, including the metaphloem and the central core of tissue.
The word "strobilae" refers to the spore-bearing cones or reproductive organs of coniferous plants, such as pine, spruce, and fir trees. These cones are also known as strobili in botanical terms.
The term "strobilation" refers to a biological process in which an animal grows a new segment or layer through a process of division and regeneration, often repeating a sequence of body parts. This process is typically seen in certain invertebrates like millipedes and earthworms.<br><br>In more detail, during strobilation, the animal's body undergoes a cyclical series of segment replacements, through which some parts of the body (primarily the segments) get replaced or formed in repetition. This results in the development of a new (usually branching) pattern of segments without a significant change in body size, thereby enabling the growth and regeneration characteristic to these creatures.
