Spanish term

“hongos” delimitados por canales

Spanish to English Other Medical (general)
La estructura de estos grupos bacterianos aparentaba ser homogénea, con distintas alturas según el punto analizado, y con estructuras semejantes *a “hongos” delimitados por canales*, tal y como se describe en las publicaciones clásicas de biocapa (Fotos 5, 6 y 7).
Thanks for the help.

If you don't like "delimited", you try "demarcated/bounded"... ect

Is the asterisk in canales* there in the original?

Despite any opinions to the contrary "delimited" is perfectly good English. FYI, RB :)

agree Richard Boulter : This is more formal than the source, but at least it doesn't use 'delimited'. It's also correct, technically.
