adj.如成串葡萄状的;多小核的
Although it is widely believed that the aciniform glands are one such silk factory, there has been no hard evidence linking aciniform-derived proteins and silk - until now. 尽管大多数人认为,葡萄状腺是这些蛛丝合成工厂之一,但至今尚未有确凿的证据来证明葡萄状腺分泌的蛋白质与蛛丝的关系。
Craig Vierra and colleagues found that the aciniform gland in the Black Widow manufactures and extrudes a previously unidentified protein that is a component of multiple types of silk. Craig Vierra及其同事发现,黑寡妇蜘蛛的葡萄状腺能生成并分泌一种以前从未鉴定出的蛋白质,这种蛋白质是好几种蛛丝的组成成分。
