Example sentences for: non-photosynthetic

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

The PRC-H subunits and their close relatives from cyanobacteria, non-photosynthetic α-proteobacteria and D. radiodurans form the first of these groups.
Homologs of PRC-H, with a conserved acidic residue that has been shown to have a role in regulating electron transfer in the reduction of the secondary quinone of reaction centers, are also found in non-photosynthetic α -proteobacteria, cyanobacteria, D. radiodurans and the archaeon M. acetivorans.
Probably, these proteins originally functioned in non-photosynthetic electron-transfer chains and were subsequently incorporated into the photosynthetic apparatus after its emergence in the α-proteobacteria.
A corollary to this is that these proteins probably functioned, initially, as regulators of electron-transfer chains in non-photosynthetic energy metabolism systems in the ancestral α-proteobacterium.
The extensive spread of this version of the domain in non-photosynthetic proteobacteria such as the rhizobia, suggest that a similar mechanism of regulating electron transfers may, perhaps, be used in regulating non-photosynthetic electron-transfer reactions.
