Evolutionary and Diagnostic Implications of Intragenomic Heterogeneity in the 16S rRNA Gene inAeromonasStrains

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: Sequencing 16S rRNA genes (SSU) cloned from Aeromonas strains revealed that strains contained up to six copies differing by < or = 1.5%. The SSU copies from Aeromonas veronii LMG13695 clustered with sequences from four Aeromonas species. These results demonstrate intragenomic heterogeneity of SSU and suggest caution when using SSU to identify aeromonads.
