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:

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

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

  • The plasmid-borne arsC gene from Salmonella typhimurium , shows little similarity to it's chromosomal equivalent, and appears to be related to the other arsC genes found in plasmids in the Enterobacteriales.

  • The two arsC genes of E. coli K12 are similar, but they are equally similar to the plasmid-borne genes of other enteric bacteria.

  • 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.
