Example sentences for: rhizobia

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

First, root-knot nematodes and rhizobia occupy similar niches in the soil and in roots, and thus the opportunity for HGT may be omnipresent.
Rhizobia have the ability to transfer genes horizontally to other bacteria, and M. loti carries a 'symbiosis island' which spans approximately 9% of its genome and has been shown to have a role in rhizobial evolution via HGT [ 46 ] . This symbiosis island contains certain genes involved in nodulation and nitrogen-fixation functions, but none of these is a homolog of the nematode HGT candidates we have identified.
Of the six newly identified HGT candidates, four have highest similarity to genes in the nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria that nodulate plant roots and which are collectively termed rhizobia.
Patterns of HGT from rhizobia
This protein encodes an N -acetyltransferase previously thought to be present only in rhizobia [ 37 ] , where it functions in the biosynthesis of Nod factor.
