Example sentences for: alpha-proteobacteria

How can you use “alpha-proteobacteria” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

MI00109.cl shows homology to a group of hypothetical proteins from alpha-proteobacteria: Sinorhizobium meliloti NP_386252 (3e-44); Novosphingobium aromaticivorans ZP_00095448 (3e-38); Mesorhizobium loti NP_107072 (5e-37).
Of the 1,923 COGs (clusters of orthologous groups) [ 32, 33, 34] identified in P. aeruginosa (a gamma-proteobacterium), 80% are also found in the combined group containing Mesorhizobium loti and Caulobacter crescentus (both alpha-proteobacteria).
Many of the alpha-proteobacteria are either plant pathogens (for example, Agrobacterium tumefaciens ) or plant commensals (for example, Sinorhizobium meliloti and Zymomonas mobilis ). The close physical association between these bacteria and plants apparently provided an opportunity for lateral transfer of the GshA gene, perhaps more than 300 million years ago.
The first group consists primarily of gamma-proteobacteria, the second of non-plant eukaryotes and the third primarily of flowering plants and alpha-proteobacteria.
The gamma-proteobacteria represented in group 1 are reasonably closely related to the alpha-proteobacteria in group 3, and the crown eukaryotes in group 2 are reasonably closely related to the plants in group 3. Orthologous relationships between these groups can often be identified.
