  • (20) Regardless of genera, microorganisms which grew well in fish were able to produce TVA and TVB.

Phyla


Definition:

  • (pl. ) of Phylon
  • (pl. ) of Phylum

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Phyla as diverse as insects, birds, and mammals possess distinct HRAS and KRAS sequences, suggesting that these genes are essential to metazoa.
