Example sentences for: rhizobial

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

  • 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.

  • To examine further the relationship between putative nodL candidates found in M. incognita and M. javanica with the cognate genes in rhizobia, we undertook a phylogenetic analysis and found that the two nematode genes fall squarely within the rhizobial nodL clade (Figure 2).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Strikingly, the nematode protein has greatest similarity (56% amino-acid identity) to GSI from the rhizobial bacterium, Mesorhizobium loti , including conservation of Tyr397.
