Revised road map to the phylum Firmicutes

Starting with the Second Edition of Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, the arrangement of content follows a phylogenetic framework or “road map” based largely on analyses of the nucleotide sequences of the ribosomal small-subunit RNA rather than on phenotypic data (Garrity et al., 2005). Implicit in the use of the road map are the convictions that prokaryotes have a phylogeny and that ...

Genetic Map Functions

A genetic map function M gives a relation r = M(d) connecting recombination fractions r and genetic map distances d between pairs of loci along a chromosome arm. Recombination fractions and map distances are summary statistics concerning potentially observable characteristics of the single chromosomes (also known as chromatids) that are the products of meiosis, and that go into gametes. The rec...

Sequence of the N-Terminal Half ofBacillus amyloliquefaciens a-Amylase

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens a-amylase (1,4-a-D-glucan glucanohydrolase. EC 3.2.1.1), which is commercially supplied as 'Bacillus subtilis a-amylase' does not cross-react immunologically with B. subtilis a-amylase. This enzyme (from B. amyloliquefaciens) was cleaved by treatment with CNBr into seven fragments. Peptide A was selected for sequence determination. It is the longest one, containing 18...
