Phylum
Definition:
(n.) One of the larger divisions of the animal kingdom; a branch; a grand division.
Example Sentences:
(1) This work extends the finding of proctolin-like substances to the annelid phylum.
(2) Because ctenophore and all other known metazoan mtDNA is circular, the shared occurrence of linear mtDNA in three of the four cnidarian classes suggests a basal position for the Anthozoa within the phylum.

(4) All organisms tested responded to ether and short-chain alkanols, but pregnanolone affected only organisms belonging to the phylum Chordata.
(5) In so doing one can isolate compounds with novel structures or unsuspected activities from almost any phylum, including tunicates, sponges, insects, or even the much-studied terrestrial plants, as exemplified in several recent studies in our laboratory involving activities ranging from antiviral and antimicrobial activity to cytotoxicity and immunomodulation.
(6) The phylum Sporozoa comprises three large distinct groups of organisms as follows: Perkinsemorpha, Gregarinomorpha and Coccidiomorpha.
(7) S. muris and Theileria annulata belong to the phylum Apicomplexa, but the latter organism is a tick-borne protozoon in the subclass Piroplasmea and causes tropical theileriosis in cattle.
(8) Sporozoan zoites contain specific organelles that are involved in host cell invasion, a process highly conserved within this phylum.
(9) The chromatrope pigment of Mermis nigrescens (Phylum: Aschelminthes, Class: Nematoda) was previously thought to have a role in photoreception.

(11) We sequenced the 3'-terminal part of the COX3 gene encoding cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3 from mitochondria of Phytophthora parasitica (phylum Oomycota, kingdom Protoctista).
(12) It differs from other species in the phylum in that each secondary cell produces a single spore composed of two concentric cells, one within a vacuole of the other.
(13) They, along with the more numerous micronemes and dense granules, constitute the apical complex in Plasmodium and other members of the phylum Apicomplexa.
(14) If so, the Archamoebae are the most primitive extant phylum of eukaryotes; if molecular phylogenetic studies confirm this idea, Archamoebae will deserve intensive study, which could reveal much about the origin of the eukaryote condition and also establish what is truly universal among eukaryotes.
(15) The immunoreactivity of this paraprotein with apo B and apo E raises the interesting possibility that it may be binding to a site on these apolipoproteins which is reactive with the apo B, E receptor of the plasma membrane, a site which is conserved throughout the vertebrate phylum.
