Example sentences for: radiobacter
How can you use “radiobacter” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
By contrast, R. radiobacter , which forms a parasitic relationship with plants by producing a crown gall rather than nodules, lacks these genes, and appears to possess only nodL , nodX and nodN , suggesting these three nod genes are sufficient to affect root growth and are involved in a parasitic lifestyle rather than being specific to symbiosis [ 33 ] .
Interestingly, models of bacterial evolution suggest HGT as a mechanism of adaptation into either symbiosis or parasitism [ 32 ] . This is specifically thought to be the case for divergent species of rhizobia, such as the symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti and the pathogen Rhizobium radiobacter (formerly known as Agrobacterium tumefaciens ), where differential selection and gene maintenance is likely to be responsible for different lifestyle strategies [ 33 ] .
Interestingly, examination of the colinearity and gene arrangements between S. meliloti , R. radiobacter and M. loti indicates that the location of the genes in M. loti probably represents a more primitive state [ 33 ] and is therefore more likely to reflect the proximity of these genes in rhizobial ancestral species.
