Evolutionary relationships of Fusobacterium nucleatum based on phylogenetic analysis and comparative genomics
26 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The phylogenetic position and evolutionary relationships of Fusobacteria remain uncertain. Especially intriguing is their relatedness to low G+C Gram positive bacteria (Firmicutes) by ribosomal molecular phylogenies, but their possession of a typical gram negative outer membrane. Taking advantage of the recent completion of the Fusobacterium nucleatum genome sequence we have examined the evolutionary...
