What's the difference between catastrophe and exode?
Catastrophe
Definition:
(n.) An event producing a subversion of the order or system of things; a final event, usually of a calamitous or disastrous nature; hence, sudden calamity; great misfortune.
(n.) The final event in a romance or a dramatic piece; a denouement, as a death in a tragedy, or a marriage in a comedy.
(n.) A violent and widely extended change in the surface of the earth, as, an elevation or subsidence of some part of it, effected by internal causes.

(16) But Blair's address - "history will forgive us" - was a dubious exercise in group therapy: the cheers smacked of pathetic gratitude, as he piously pardoned the legislators, as well as himself, for the catastrophe of Iraq.
(17) I argue that (a) the procedures they used to study confounding were suboptimal because multiple measures of depression and catastrophizing were not employed and (b) the distinctiveness of constructs might better be regarded as a continuous rather than all-or-none (having adequate discriminant validity versus being confounded) concept.

Exode
Definition:
(n.) Departure; exodus; esp., the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt.
(n.) The final chorus; the catastrophe.
(n.) An afterpiece of a comic description, either a farce or a travesty.
Example Sentences:
(1) This result implies that the nodule invasion defect of exoD mutants arises from their sensitivity to alkaline conditions and, furthermore, that alkaline conditions may obtain in the developing infection thread.
(2) In this study, we characterize mutant phenotypes of exoD strains in both free-living and symbiotic states.
(3) Rhizobium meliloti exoD mutants are deficient in invasion of alfalfa nodules and, as a consequence, the nodules that exoD strains induce fail to fix nitrogen.
(4) The deduced amino acid sequence of ExoD is extremely hydrophobic, suggesting that the protein is membrane associated.
(5) Nodules induced by exoD mutants are generally small and empty of bacteria, and exhibit the same structural features as nodules induced by other invasion-deficient mutants.
(6) exoD mutants are thus alkali sensitive for both free-living and symbiotic phenotypes.
(7) The results suggest that exoD represents a new class of Rhizobium genes required for nodule invasion, distinct from the other exo genes and the ndv genes.
(8) Mutations in the exoD gene result in altered exopolysaccharide production and in a nodule invasion defect.
(9) However, the effects of exoD mutations on exopolysaccharide production and growth on various media are different from the effects of other exo and ndv mutations.
(10) NGR234 exoD was found to be an operon that included genes equivalent to exoM, exoA, and exoL in R. meliloti.
(11) Interestingly, we find that buffering the plant growth medium at slightly acidic pH (6.0-6.5) restores the ability of exoD mutants to invade alfalfa nodules.
(12) Loci involved in effective nodule formation (fix-379, fix-382, fix-383, fix-385, and fix-388), polysaccharide synthesis (exoR, exoS, exoC, and ndvB), nodule invasion (exoD), and nitrogen regulation (ntrA) were ordered with respect to previously mapped markers and each other.
