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

The abundance of putative microbial symbiont transcripts among sequences from a pure plant root library is difficult to interpret.
Given their diverse evolutionary strategies, insect endosymbionts also provide a rich playing field to explore genetic conflicts (Frank 1996a, 1996b), which might involve the mode of symbiont transmission, the number of symbionts transmitted, and the sex of host offspring.
The common ancestor of this fold might have emerged in a mobile genomic symbiont or parasite and subsequently spread widely across viral and transposon genomes.
These patterns have been interpreted as a general signature of the symbiotic origin of eukaryotes [ 2 3 ] and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of symbiont genes to the nucleus [ 4 5 6 7 8 9 ] . On the one hand, this complexity resulting from HGT can obscure some aspects of evolutionary history [ 8 ] . However, HGT also can provide the means to investigate otherwise difficult questions, such as inferring the number of symbiotic events and estimating the time of those events.
