How can you use “chlamydiae” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
However, as the present-day C. psittaci operon is unique among chlamydiae, it is also possible that trp genes were lost and then reacquired by lateral gene transfer (LGT).
Not only does it contain genes ( kynU and kprS ) that are not components of the classical tryptophan operon, but these genes are not even present in other chlamydiae.
The redundant nature of the Cpn 1054 family members is somewhat unusual against the generally reductive evolutionary strategy of the chlamydiae [ 17 ] . There is no evidence that the Cpn 1054 gene family is found outside of C. pneumoniae , and thus the members of the family may be important in the unique biological traits of this species.
In any event, for most chlamydiae the successful implementation of tryptophan depletion by the host is closely tied to chlamydial responses that result in a persistent metabolic state and chronic disease.
It would appear that chlamydiae have learned to recognize and exploit tryptophan depletion as an environmental cue that initiates a distinct chain of remodeling biochemistry that promotes long-term viability in a latent state.
