Point detection refers to testing a sample that has been taken directly from the environment suspected of harboring the target agent. Needs in this regard include not only investigation of suspected sources of contamination but also monitoring the air/water systems in buildings for general pathogen contamination or contamination by specific biological agents. In point detection as in stand-off detection, many situations will demand neither exceptional sensitivity nor exceptional specificity. Assessment of the total microbial content may be sufficient to determine contamination and alert personnel to danger. 1, record 5, English, - point%20detection

Six mutants harboring intragenic suppressor mutation exhibit full restoration of export to the mutant RBP, on the other hand, two mutants harboring extragenic suppressor mutation show partial restoration of export. One intragenic suppressor showed the decreased rate of migration of the RBP during SDS-PAGE that may be caused by a second mutation in mature part of RBP. Mapping experiments showed that at least an extragenic suppressor phenotype is not the result of mutation in prlA(sec Y) gene. 1, record 6, English, - intragenic%20suppressor%20mutation
