Example sentences for: nostoc
How can you use “nostoc” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
These differ for Anabaena and Nostoc as depicted in Figure 2. Anabaena has genes encoding aph and a hypothetical gene (open reading frame (ORF)) inserted between aroB and the trpAa • trpAb fusion.
For all of the operonic Anabaena/Nostoc Trp-pathway proteins used as queries, homolog sequences from other cyanobacteria ( Synechocystis, Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus ) were the remaining top hits returned in the BLAST queue.
Interestingly, the solo versions from Nostoc and Anabaena species group strongly with the animal SGC clade, supporting the origin of the latter forms via horizontal transfer from a bacterial source (Rell BP support 80%, 10000 replicates).
If any of the trpAa • trpAb fusions, other than the Nostoc/Anabaena pair, have a common origin, similar flanking regions of gene organization might be expected since all of the fusions are of relatively recent origin.
It, therefore, seems to be a distinct possibility that the gene blocks diagrammed in Figure 2(as well as additional gene duplicates) are specifically involved in specialized capabilities of Nostoc/Anabaena that do not exist in other cyanobacteria.
