Atypical 16S rRNA gene copies in Ochrobactrum intermedium strains reveal a large genomic rearrangement by recombination between rrn copies.
Ochrobactrum intermedium is an opportunistic human pathogen belonging to the alpha 2 subgroup of proteobacteria. The 16S rDNA sequences of nine O. intermedium isolates from a collection of clinical and environmental isolates exhibited a 46-bp insertion at position 187, which was present in only one sequence among the 82 complete or partial 16S rDNA sequences of Ochrobactrum spp. available in da...
متن کاملMultiple copies of the 16S rRNA gene in Nocardia nova isolates and implications for sequence-based identification procedures.
Molecular investigation of two Nocardia patient isolates showed unusual restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns with restriction endonuclease assays (REA) using an amplified portion of the 16S rRNA gene. Patterns typical of Nocardia nova were obtained with REA of an amplified portion of the 65-kDa heat shock protein gene. Subsequent sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene regions of th...
متن کاملSpontaneous tandem genetic duplications in Salmonella typhimurium arise by unequal recombination between rRNA (rrn) cistrons.
A method is described to detect and measure the frequency of spontaneous tandem genetic duplications located throughout the Salmonella genome. The method is based on the ability of duplication-containing strains to inherit two selectable alleles of a single gene during generalized transductional crosses. One allele of the gene carries an insertion of the translocatable tetracycline-resistance e...
متن کاملAnalysis of multiple differing copies of the 16S rRNA gene in five clinical isolates and three type strains of Nocardia species and implications for species assignment.
Five clinical isolates of Nocardia that showed ambiguous bases within the variable region of the 16S rRNA gene sequence were evaluated for the presence of multiple copies of this gene. The type strains of three Nocardia species, Nocardia concava, Nocardia ignorata, and Nocardia yamanashiensis, which also showed ambiguous bases in the variable region, were also examined. Cloning experiments usin...
متن کاملProperly coloured copies and rainbow copies of large graphs with small maximum degree
Let G be a graph on n vertices with maximum degree ∆. We use the Lovász local lemma to show the following two results about colourings χ of the edges of the complete graph Kn. If for each vertex v of Kn the colouring χ assigns each colour to at most (n − 2)/(22.4∆2) edges emanating from v, then there is a copy of G in Kn which is properly edge-coloured by χ. This improves on a result of Alon, J...
