Increasing biological complexity is positively correlated with the relative genome-wide expansion of non-protein-coding DNA sequences (2003, neutral): “104] Buchnera aphidicola (Bp) 0.164 553 618000 [105] Staphylococcus aureus N315 0.165 2595 2813641 [106] Staphylococcus aureus Mu50 0.169 2687 2878084 [106] Clostridium perfringens 0.169 2660 3031430 [107] Buchnera aphidicola (Sg) 0.17 545 640000 [97] Nisseria meningitidis 0.171 2121 2184406 [53] Pr”
Diversity and Succession of the Intestinal Bacterial Community of the Maturing Broiler Chicken (2003, background): “Microbial composition may therefore reflect the host’s unique carbohydrate composition of mucins, glycolipids, and glycoproteins and the coevolution of lectins and glycosidases that allow the bacteria to adhere to these substrates and to liberate sugar for metabolism (29, 36, 45, 48).”
Aposematic (Warning) Coloration in Plants (2009, neutral): “C. perfringens is known to be a flesh-eater in that it can produce a necrotizing infection of the skeletal muscle called gas gangrene (Shimizu et al. 2002) .”
Prophages and bacterial genomics: what have we learned so far? (2003, background): “…for prophage identification in bacteria such as E. coli, which have more or less randomly oriented genes, but is less useful in genomes with genes that are largely oriented in the direction of DNA replication such as Clostridium (Shimizu et al., 2002) and Thermoanaerobacter (Bao et al., 2002).”
Bacterial membrane lipids: diversity in structures and pathways. (2016, background): “Homologs of LicCA are also present in Haemophilus influenzae, different strains of Clostridium and Streptococcus, but the latter are not known to form PC (Weiser, Love and Moxon 1989; Zhang et al. 1999; Shimizu et al. 2002).”
