Sentence examples for algal genes from inspiring English sources

Each of these three algal genes showed a higher efficiency to convert β-carotene to downstream carotenoids than the fungal genes from Phaffia rhodozyma.

Our finding of algal genes in animals provides additional evidence about the distribution of algal genes in aplastidic eukaryotes.

As expected, the overall contributions of red algal genes to both diatom genomes are highly significant.

Choanoflagellates may therefore have acquired GLDH via HGT along with these other algal genes.

Thus, these algal genes may correspond to remnants of ancient integrated genomes of unknown lysogenic viruses.

Such notable examples illustrate the transfer of algal genes to animal recipients.

In particular, recent studies identified over 100 algal genes in the choanoflagellate Monosiga[ 19, 21].

In such cases, algal genes in aplastidic eukaryotes may not necessarily represent relics of historical plastids.

While the algal genes in Monosiga are predominantly involved in carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism [ 21], five of the 14 gene families, which account for 80% (74/92) of algal genes identified in Ciona, are functionally related to molecule transport.

Although the possibility that algal genes in Monosiga are derived from an obsolete algal endosymbiont or plastid cannot be confidently excluded, the phagotrophic lifestyle of Monosiga points to the possibility that these algal genes are derived from food sources.

These were viewed with suspicion as possible algal genes that were contaminating the host-only cDNA library.
