Interestingly, numerous bacteria belonging to the genera Klebsiella were found when larvae were fed on barley but were absent in larvae from the artificial feed or only found in very low representation in lima bean-fed insects, which could indicate an important role for species of this genera in larva feeding on grass species, as was seen in our study on sugarcane.
Science
These findings suggest a combined model of evolution to Xylella integrases and their elements, in which site specific and illegitimate recombination take place, and the mosaic architecture of the prophage elements represent a creative process in order to generate genetic variation, driving forces to the evolution of this genera.
Science
Asanaka et al. (20 ) reported production of Norwalk virus particles (norovirus GI.1, the prototype strain of this genera from Norwalk, Ohio) after transinfection of cultured kidney cells.
Science
In recent years, an increased interest of Enterococcus spp. has been noted and the presence of bacteria of this genera has been confirmed within many infectious endogenous pathogenic bacteria isolates; E. faecalis is the dominant species (57%) in clinical cases and was also detected in the analyzed necrosol samples.
Various plants of this genera have been used traditionally for the treatment of various ailments, i.e., Teucrium polium Linn is used ethno-medicinally for the treatment of pain associated with pregnancy, flatulence, analgesia, liver disorders, jaundice, coughing and miscarriage [ 1– 4].

To detect if associations between any urine taxa existed, Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were calculated for all pair-wise combinations of the genera identified in this study (Table S7).
Science
None of the genera represented in this survey matched genera found in a previous 16S survey of bacteria from adult honey bees [ 8], suggesting that bacterial sequencing in bees will continue to identify novel taxa.
Science
Since most of the genera sampled in this study contain both annuals and perennials, it is likely that most branches on the tree actually represent a combination of annual and perennial evolutionary history.
Science
None of the genera represented in this survey matched genera found in a previous 16S survey of bacteria from adult honey bees [ 8], although they do mimic, broadly, the microbial biome measured in bee colonies to date (as reviewed by Gilliam, [ 7]).
Science
Although at the lower end of PWD of known genera, this value also minimized ambiguous identities, where a strain showed equal identity to more than one genus, or showed identity to only some but not all members of a genus-level O.T.U group.

Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the singular form "genus" when referring to a taxonomic rank above species and below family. Double-check your grammar in scientific writing to maintain clarity and accuracy.
Common error
Avoid using the plural form "genera" when you intend to refer to a single genus. "Genera" should only be used when referring to multiple genuses.

Ludwig's WRAP-UP
The phrase "of this genera" is an incorrect prepositional phrase. The correct form is "of this genus". This phrase is intended to classify something within a specific taxonomic rank. While Ludwig examples show its use in scientific contexts, the grammatical error undermines its effectiveness. Ensure you use the singular form "genus" unless referring to multiple genuses. Ludwig AI highlights that the correct term is "genus", which is singular, and "genera" is its plural form. Using the proper grammatical form enhances clarity and credibility in scientific and formal writing.

FAQs
What is the correct way to refer to a single genus?
The correct term is "genus", which is singular. "Genera" is the plural form. Therefore, you should say "of this genus" not "of this genera".
When should I use "genera" instead of "genus"?
"Genera" should be used when referring to multiple genuses. For example, "The characteristics of several "genera" are being compared in this study".
What are some alternatives to the phrase "of this genus"?
Depending on the context, you could use phrases like "belonging to this genus", "within this genus", or "from this genus".
Is "of this genera" ever correct?
No, "of this genera" is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrasing is always "of this genus" when referring to a single genus.
