What's the difference between dissimilate and unlike?

Dissimilate


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To render dissimilar.

  • (10) A mutant of Escherichia coli that employs a glycerol:nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2-oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.6), instead of adenosine 5'-triphosphate:glycerol 3-phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.1.30), as the first enzyme for the dissimilation of glycerol was constructed.
  • (11) Instead, a non-cyclic pentose phosphate pathway along with the Krebs cycle is apparently the major route of glucose dissimilation in this organism.
  • (12) The data indicate that T. denticola derives energy by dissimilating L-argine via the arginine iminohydrolase pathway.
  • (13) These studies employed the glucose-repressible, beta-galactosidase system of Escherichia coli and involved an investigation of glucose dissimilation under cultural conditions capable of permitting or preventing expression of catabolite repression.
  • (14) No mutant defective in the degradation of both phenols was found, indicating separate pathways for the dissimilation of the compounds.
  • (15) Ability to initiate growth at 45 C, production of ammonia from arginine, dissimilation of malate, and fermentation of arabinose are confirmatory characteristics.
  • (16) The conversion of mannose to fructose is the first step in the principal pathway of mannose dissimilation by Pseudomonas cepacia.

  • (19) The products of the anaerobic dissimilation of glucose were determined.
  • (20) The first two enzymes employed by a Bacillus species for the dissimilation of nicotinic acid are coordinately induced.

Unlike


Definition:

  • (a.) Not like; dissimilar; diverse; having no resemblance; as, the cases are unlike.
  • (a.) Not likely; improbable; unlikely.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The pancreatic changes are unlikely to be an artefact, but rather a direct toxic effect of the alcohol as confirmed by the biochemical changes.

  • (4) Unlike Milo, he appears to be – to some extent – convinced of the truth of what he’s saying.
  • (5) Recent studies have shown that an aberration in platelet-derived growth factor gene expression is unlikely to be a factor in proliferation of smooth-muscle cells.
  • (6) Their contour lengths varied from 0.28 to 51 micron, but unlike in the case of maize, a large difference was not observed in the distribution of molecular classes greater than 1.0 micron between N and S cytoplasms of sugar beet.
