Natural products containing carbon-phosphorous bonds, so-called C-P compounds have been found in many organisms, but only protists and bacteria, mostly actinobacteria, have biosynthetic capacity.
For example, the STRING database [ 1, 2] not only provides PPI information for many organisms, but also graphically shows interactions of interest.
Whereas many organisms have only one or two lysozyme genes, C. elegans has a family of at least ten differentially regulated genes that are predicted to show significant functional diversity [6], [7].
It is so far the only histone that has been shown to be indispensable for survival in many organisms and while only a single gene copy is present in invertebrates, two distinct gene copies exist in vertebrates [ 10].
While many organisms are competent only under certain environmental conditions, such as starvation, H. pylori is competent throughout logarithmic growth.
We were able to recover many organisms that were only represented in small quantities in the mixture through the analysis of their DNA from ethanol.
Further, we address our hypothesis using amounts of sequence data that are typically available for many non-model organisms (only ~1.2 kb).
Whereas Drosophila encodes only DmPUM, many organisms, including C. elegans, contain two or more genes encoding Puf proteins, which can fulfil partly redundant functions [41].
