Example sentences for: plasmid-encoded

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

  • Strain K84 biological control is primarily due to production of two plasmid-encoded antibiotics, agrocins 84 and 484, encoded by genes on pAgK84 and pAgK434 respectively [ 5 ] . Agrocin 84, an adenosine analog [ 6 ] , is effective against tumorigenic strains carrying nopaline/agrocinopine tumor-inducing plasmids, and requires the acc system in the target strain for activity [ 7 ] . Agrocin 434, a di-substituted cytidine analog, is effective against, and specific for, a broad range of A. rhizogenes strains [ 8 ] . Curing of either agrocin-encoding plasmid results in reduction of biological control activity [ 9 ] . Thus, K84 demonstrates the efficacy of antibiosis for crown gall biological control.

  • Although the plasmid-encoded capping enzyme genes are under the control of a regulated nmt1* promoter, which can be repressed by inclusion of 5 μg/ml thiamine in the growth medium [ 19 ] , we observed that the growth of the plasmid-dependent strains was not affected by exogenous thiamine.

  • K84 biological control is thought to be primarily due to production of two plasmid-encoded antibiotics, each of which accounts for a portion of the observed disease control [ 9 ] . This naturally occurring example suggests that pyramiding biological control mechanisms within one strain can enhance disease control.
