Phylogeny of the genera Entamoeba and Endolimax as deduced from small- subunit ribosomal RNA sequences
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
We sequenced small-subunit ribosomal RNA genes (16S-like rDNAs) of 10 species belonging to the genera Entamoeba and Endolimax. This study was undertaken to (1) resolve the relationships among the major lineages of Entamoeba previously identified by riboprinting; (2) examine the validity of grouping the genera Entamoeba and Endolimax in the same family, the Entamoebidae; and (3) examine how different models of...
