Example sentences for: symbiotic

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

  • To diagnose the species of origin for sequences expressed in symbiotic cultures, we collected sequences generated by distinct EST sequencing projects from the GenBank database [ 29, 30, 31].

  • The gamma-3 Proteobacteria contain free-living bacteria with large genomes and also numerous symbiotic lineages showing varying degrees of reduction in genome size [ 46, 47].

  • Nod factors are a rhizobial species-specific family of lipo-chito-oligosaccharides which function in signal exchange between the bacterium and its symbiotic partner plant [ 38 ] . The first visible signs of nodule formation (root-hair deformation) as part of the symbiotic pathway are triggered by Nod factors [ 39 ] , and although the specific mechanisms of Nod factor function remain unknown, it is clear that it has a central role in initiation of cell division and possibly also nodule differentiation in the root [ 40 ] . For most rhizobia, the product of nodD acts as a transcriptional activator and induces expression of a set of nod genes.

  • Extreme genome reduction, producing bacterial genome sizes in the range of 1 Mb or less, is closely correlated with symbiotic or pathogenic lifestyles involving obligate associations with eukaryotic hosts.

  • Interestingly, some of our recent studies at the methane seeps of Hydrate Ridge (Cascadia margin) also show that certain populations of anaerobic methane oxidizers are specifically associated with seep organisms—such as the symbiotic clam
