Bacteria behave as hydrophobic particles due to their net negative surface charge and this surface hydrophobicity is usually associated with bacterial adhesiveness, varying from organism to organism, from strain to strain and is influenced by the growth medium, bacterial age and bacterial surface structures [ 26, 27].
In previous studies, sets of organisms varying from a few distantly related organisms to several closely related organisms have been utilized in the examination of the relationship between the retention of genes and their essentiality [ 8, 9].
The physical and chemical properties of seawater have a great effect on organisms, varying especially with the size of the creature.
In the course of revising the classification of ants native to the South Pacific, he formulated the concept of the "taxon cycle," in which speciation and species dispersal are linked to the varying habitats that organisms encounter as their populations expand.
The reaction norm is a summary of the range of phenotypes, whether quantitatively or qualitatively varying, exhibited by organisms of a given genotype for different environmental conditions.
Two-component systems are distributed at varying frequencies among organisms of all domains, including Eubacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya [ 1, 3].
In the past few years, thousands of miRNAs have been identified in many organisms varying from viruses to mammals [ 10, 11].
It is apparent that the aliphatic amino acids Alanine(A), Glycine G, Leucine L and Valine V(V) display similar abundance patterns in SSPs and non-SSPs of organisms varying widely in genomic GC content.
Similar phenomena, observed in a wide range of organisms, varying from yeast to mammals, underlie the temporal regulation of signalling pathways as a common mechanism in determining cell fate decisions [ 2, 3].
As a result, the knowledge gained from comparative and evolutionary studies of these species can provide insights into homologous processes in a wide range of other organisms, varying from crop plants to humans [ 7].
