Example sentences for: archaebacterial
How can you use “archaebacterial” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
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.
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.
As noted previously [ 1 ] , most (in this case, 21 out of 36) eukaryotic proteins with archaebacterial affinity are informational (involved in transcription, translation, and related processes).
Sample size (eight protein sets) also was limited in the Kollman and Doolittle study [ 23 ] . Taken together these data suggest the following relative order of rate differences: archaebacteria < eubacteria < eukaryotes (archaebacterial origin) < eukaryotes (eubacterial origin).
At the 95% bootstrap significance level, 19 proteins supported archaebacterial monophyly whereas none supported the eocyte hypothesis (Crenarchaeota + Eukaryota).
