Example sentences for: rhizobial

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

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.
Unlike many prokaryotes, in which the genome resides largely on a single, circular chromosome, with varying numbers of small episomes, rhizobial genomes are typically organized in a manner conceptually more like eukaryotes.
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.
Consequently, these genes are strong candidates for having entered nematodes via HGT, presumably from a rhizobial ancestor.
Only the two operonic fusion proteins from Anabaena and Nostoc and the four rhizobial fusion proteins (Mlo, Bme, Rme and Atu) exhibit linker regions of identical length and obvious similarity.
