The phrase "acquisition of element" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to obtaining or gaining a specific component or part, often in fields like education, science, or business.
Example: "The acquisition of element 118 was a significant milestone in the study of superheavy elements."
Alternatives: "gaining of element" or "procurement of element".
In S. cerevisiae strains lacking a gene for telomere replication, amplification and acquisition of Y' elements in a large number of telomeres decreases the frequency of cell death [ 46].
Second, the occurrence of divergent elements at the same site in the gene, and their phylogenetic distribution, suggest multiple acquisitions of elements at the site.
Our study suggests that, of the two melanin forms, pheomelanin synthesis may bear higher costs associated with the acquisition of specific elements or limited elements may create trade-offs between ornamentation and other physiological functions.
The presence of this conserved element suggests recent horizontal transfer of these genes between E. faecium and E. faecalis or, possibly, the independent acquisition of this element by E. faecium and E. faecalis from another common source.
Thus, the efficient acquisition of this element may improve bacterial survival and confer competitiveness [ 120].
Interestingly, the genome replication mode of the bacterium Vibrio cholera also appears to have been sculpted by acquisition of extrachromosomal element replication origins.
To further delineate the extent of conservation and estimate the time of acquisition of this element in evolution, we searched available genomic sequence datasets or performed PCR analysis on the intergenic junction region between the TIGD1 and EIF4E2 genes in a panel of primate and other mammalian genomic DNAs.
While their genetic background differs from other S. aureus strains, ST75- and ST883-MRSA strains harbour SCCmec IV elements suggesting a recent acquisition of these elements.
For the successful establishment of retrogenes in the genome (including the acquisition of regulatory elements, and their sometimes deleterious nature), see Vinckenbosch, N., Dupanloup, I., and Kaessmann, H. 2006.
The number of acquisition of SCC elements (SCCmec and SCC non-mec) was estimated using the same methods.
