Example sentences for: rhizobial

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

In particular, we considered how similar the Meloidogyne codon usage is to that of a 'typical' rhizobial protein by using the codon adaptation index (CAI) [ 44 ] . From an R. leguminosarum codon-usage table, we calculated the CAI for those amino acids precisely conserved between Mi-NodL and the rhizobial NodL protein to be 0.621 and 0.703 respectively.
Collectively, comparison of the nematode and rhizobial nodL genes suggests that each is adapted for function in the organism in which it resides, and despite the high degree of similarity between the amino-acid sequences of these genes, the DNA sequences are strikingly different.
Consequently, these genes are strong candidates for having entered nematodes via HGT, presumably from a rhizobial ancestor.
Two of the Meloidogyne genes revealed by our filters, which encode an L-threonine aldolase gene (MI01644) and a deduced protein of unknown function (MI00109), exhibit striking amino-acid identity to rhizobial proteins (48% and 51% respectively), but a complete absence of meaningful homology with any eukaryotic sequence (Table 3).
Nevertheless, because the origin of many of the nematode HGT candidates appeared to be rhizobial, we wished to investigate the organization of the bacterial homologs.
