The phrase "as a likely component" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing something that is probably a part of a larger whole or system.
Example: "In analyzing the ecosystem, we identified pollution as a likely component affecting the health of the aquatic life."
Alternatives: "as a probable element" or "as a potential factor".
In addition to the extant Cronobacter spp. core genome described earlier (Additional file 1: Table 1), a number of dispensable or accessory genomic regions, 39 in all, were identified as being a likely component of the last common ancestor core genome.
As discussed above, one likely component of the negative regulatory loop in N. vectensis is NvCry2.
The comparison results indicate that instead of regarding the whole original sea clutter as chaotic series, the chaotic likely component in sea clutter is probably a more appropriate fitting object to be approximated with chaotic models.
This study utilized factor analysis to discover a consistent component core as a likely core of the metabolic syndrome.
Health policy and planning agencies in developing countries need to recognize and plan for the rapid emergence and escalation of noncommunicable diseases, especially diabetes and CVD, with the latter likely to be as important a component of the disease spectrum in developing countries as it is in developed countries.
As the egy1 mutants have a wide variety of senescence symptoms, the egy1 gene most likely functions as a regulatory component controlling functional leaf senescence rather than as a protein directly executing the senescence process (Kim et al. 2009; Lim et al. 2010).
Taken together, these results argue that ΨCTD contributes to cell viability, likely as an essential component of functional RNAP-II.
In Arabidopsis, RAV1 transcripts are known to be immediately (within 1 hr) up-regulated on exposure to cold temperature [ 34], and are thought to play an important role in the cold stress response pathway, most likely as a component of the CBF regulon [ 35].
Here we argue that cognition is likely to arise as a critical component of female mate choice in mating systems with alternative male reproductive phenotypes.
