Bacillus anthracis diverges from related clades of the Bacillus cereus group in 16S-23S ribosomal DNA intergenic transcribed spacers containing tRNA genes.
Mung bean nuclease treatment of 16S-23S ribosomal DNA intergenic transcribed spacers (ITS) amplified from several strains of the six species of the Bacillus cereus group showed that B. anthracis Davis TE702 and B. mycoides G2 have other intermediate fragments in addition to the 220- and 550-bp homoduplex fragments typical of the B. cereus group. Long and intermediate homoduplex ITS fragments fr...
متن کاملComparative sequence analysis of 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacers of the genus Geobacillus
The aim of the present study was to analyse sequences of 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer regions of different Geobacillus species, identify structural elements of these regions and evaluate the possibility to use these structural elements in the taxonomy of the genus Geobacillus. GEOBAC-PCR was used in order to obtain 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer sequences. Certain structural el...
متن کاملHeteroduplex structures in 16S-23S rRNA intergenic transcribed spacer PCR products reveal ribosomal interoperonic polymorphisms within single Frankia strains.
AIMS Detection of polymorphisms in intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) 16S-23S rRNA within single Frankia strains. METHODS AND RESULTS Polymorphisms in the 16S-23S rRNA ITS were investigated in single-colony subcultures of seven Frankia isolates. Multiple ITS-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) bands were detected solely in isolates BMG5.5 and BMG5.11. The slow-migrating bands in the ITS-PCR agar...
متن کاملResolution of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus ecotypes by using 16S-23S ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer sequences.
Cultured isolates of the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus vary widely in their pigment compositions and growth responses to light and nutrients, yet show greater than 96% identity in their 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences. In order to better define the genetic variation that accompanies their physiological diversity, sequences for the 16S-23S rDNA internal transcribed sp...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of Piscirickettsia salmonis by 16S, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 23S ribosomal DNA sequencing.
Piscirickettsia salmonis, the etiologic agent of piscirickettsiosis, is a systemic disease of salmonid fish. Variations in virulence and mortality have been observed during epizootics at different geographical regions and in laboratory experiments with isolates from these different locations. This raises the possibility that biogeographical patterns of genetic variation might be a significant f...
