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

For the screening step, we used the xylE gene because catechol 2,3 dioxygenase activity is easily measured by spraying colonies with catechol and the amount of color produced is a rough measure of promoter activity [ 10 ] . In our screen, white, pale yellow, and bright yellow colonies were observed, indicating a wide range of promoter activity.
Replating of the yellow colonies produced a mixture of white and yellow colonies, suggesting that the expression of the xylE or aph gene in the SigE-expressing strain may be detrimental to the cell and may lead to plasmid instability.
In coinfection experiments, the ratio of M. smegmatis bacteria expressing the full-length Rv0365c ORF to xylE -expressing wild-type bacteria was 1:1 at time zero and increased to approximately 10:1 at 12 hours and to 11:1 at 24 hours (Figure 5).
The resistant bacteria would then be grown in a second medium or in the absence of a stress, and colonies scored for lack of promoter activity in the second condition by expression of the xylE reporter gene.
In experiments in which THP-1 cells were infected at a MOI of 50:1 (results in ~1 phagocytosed M. smegmatis bacterium per macrophage) with a mixture containing equal numbers of bacteria of the xylE -expressing control strain and a strain carrying the cosmid vector pYUB178, the ratio of recovered white colonies to yellow colonies was 1:1 at all time points (data not shown).
