Example sentences for: cyanobacteria
How can you use “cyanobacteria” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Nevertheless, an evolutionary affinity between Cyanobacteria ( Synechocystis ) and Actinomycetes ( Mycobacterium ) appears plausible, particularly given the presence, in these bacterial groups, of well-developed and partly similar signal transduction systems [ 27 ] . The connection between two hyperthermophilic bacteria, Aquifex and Thermotoga, also has obvious biological meaning, although, in this case, particular caution is due, given the possibility of preferential horizontal gene exchange between these organisms that inhabit similar environments.
These include the SBHM of the phosphotransferase system enzyme II (glucose permease or PTS-EII) found in several lineages of free-living bacteria, the one at the C-termini of cytochrome F from cyanobacteria and chloroplasts, and the NlpD-like cell wall peptidases that are present in most bacteria.
Taking this into account, the search retrieved 44 sequences of known or putative GshAs with E-values less than 1. A subset of these sequences representing all three groups and cyanobacteria is shown in Table 2. The p -values for each occurrence of the three motifs, as well as the E -values for each sequence, are very low in all three groups.
We evaluated whether the closest BLAST hits, using as queries the amino-acid sequences corresponding to the operonic genes of Anabaena or Nostoc , would be with other cyanobacteria (and therefore consistent with origin by gene duplication) or with another taxon grouping (consistent with LGT).
Cyanobacteria other than Anabaena/Nostoc lack the fusion, as do all nearby lineages.
