Abstract excerpt
Bacterial strains were isolated from sponge and green algae which were collected on the coast of Japan and Palau. The phylogenetic relationships of these isolates among marine species of the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides complex were analysed by using their gyrB nucleotide sequences and translated peptide sequences (GyrB) in addition to 16S rDNA sequences. These isolates were closely related to the...
