Example sentences for: enterobacteria

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

  • In the group of enterobacteria, it was possible to classify transferred genes relative to their date of acquisition in the three strains of E. coli . Thus, we identified transferred genes acquired before the separation of the two strains O157:H7 ('ancient transfers') and those acquired in one of the two strains O157:H7 after their separation ('recent transfers').

  • For this purpose, we used five closely related genomes in the enterobacteria group: E. coli O157:H7 EDL933 [ 11 ] , E. coli O157:H7 Sakaï [ 29 ] , E. coli K12 [ 30 ] , Salmonella enterica [ 31 ] , and S. typhimurium LT2 [ 10 ] ; three closely related genomes in the alpha-proteobacteria group: Helicobacter pylori J99 [ 32 ] , H. pylori 26695 [ 33 ] , and Campylobacter jejunii [ 34 ] ; and three closely related genomes in the Streptococcus genus: S. pneumoniae R6 [ 35 ] , S. pneumoniae TIGR4 [ 36 ] , and S. pyogenes [ 12 ] . We considered as unambiguous the relationships between these bacteria because, for example, the orthologous genes of the two strains of E. coli O157:H7 are almost identical at the nucleotide level, while they show noticeable differences from E. coli K12 (data not shown).

  • The same phenomenon is observed for species having medium (enterobacteria) and low ( H. pylori and S. pneumoniae ) G+C content.

  • Moreover, when it was possible to measure the amount of lost genes (that is, in enterobacteria), we have found that they also tend to be more A+T-rich than the genome (Mann-Whitney test, p < 10 -4; results not shown), suggesting a greater turnover of A+T-rich genes.

  • The RecT/Redβ superfamily members, namely EHAP1 from the enterobacteria and PF161 from Borrelia hermsii, contain a small, C-terminal fragment of the core conserved domain of the ERF superfamily, which is located C-terminal of their bona fide RecT/Redβ domains.
