Abstract excerpt
Sequence homology of partial 60 kDa heat-shock protein (HSP60) genes was analysed for 50 Bifidobacterium strains that represent 12 Bifidobacterium species and subspecies with validly published names. Sequence similarities were 96.5-100 % within the same species, 95.5-97 % at the subspecies level and 80-96 % (mean, 88 %) at the interspecies level among the 10 Bifidobacterium species. Hence, the HSP60 gene was a...
