Example sentences for: plasmid-borne

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

  • Both of these groups of plasmid-borne genes are similar to the chromosomal genes found in related organisms.

  • As well as C. acetobutylicum , two other bacteria were represented by both chromosomal and plasmid-borne arsC sequences.

  • However, the plasmid-borne arsC genes appear to be paraphyletic and clearly separate into very different arsC types (Figures 2and 3).

  • We were hoping that patterns in the phylogeny of plasmid-borne arsC genes might indicate whether HGT of arsC genes has occurred (or is still occurring) in recent times.

  • The only exception is the arsC found on the pKW301 plasmid of A. multivorum , which shows high sequence similarity to the plasmid-borne arsC sequences found in the Enterobacteriales, strongly suggesting relatively recent plasmid transfer between a member of this group and A. multivorum . Indeed, the ars operon found in A. multivorum is expressed and confers arsenate resistance when transferred to E. coli [ 21 ] . Three other types of plasmid-borne arsC genes are found in R. solanacearum , Clostridium acetobutylicum , and Halobacterium halobium , demonstrating that plasmid-borne arsC genes are phylogenetically widespread and suggesting multiple incidences of chromosomal-plasmid transfer.
