Example sentences for: archaebacterial

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

  • Also, eukaryotic protein sequences were found to have an increased rate of evolution compared with prokaryotic sequences regardless of their archaebacterial or eubacterial origin (Fig.

  • At the 95% bootstrap significance level, 19 proteins supported archaebacterial monophyly whereas none supported the eocyte hypothesis (Crenarchaeota + Eukaryota).

  • It has been suggested that eukaryotic genes and proteins of archaebacterial origin are more closely related to one lineage of archaebacteria (Crenarchaeota; "eocytes") than the other major lineage (Euryarchaeota) [ 24 ] . If true, this would bear on our time estimate for the divergence of archaebacteria and eukaryotes.

  • We compared rates of change in archaebacterial versus eubacterial sequences using paralogous sequences (those related by gene duplication) as a root for relative rate tests [ 47 48 ] . To examine rate differences between eukaryotic sequences and their closest prokaryote orthologs (those representing the same gene), we used the more distant prokaryote (archaebacteria or eubacteria) as root.

  • In the second case, we found that archaebacteria are evolving at a slower rate than eubacteria, as was noted elsewhere [ 23 ] . In our case, regression of archaebacterial branch length versus eubacterial branch length, fixed through the origin, resulted in a slope of 0.93 and correlation coefficient of 0.65 (n = 9 proteins).
