Phylogenetic Characterization of Two Novel Commensal Bacteria Involved with Innate Immune Homeostasis in<i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>
23 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
During a previous study on the molecular interaction between commensal bacteria and host gut immunity, two novel bacterial strains, A911(T) and G707(T), were isolated from the gut of Drosophila melanogaster. In this study, these strains were characterized in a polyphasic taxonomic study using phenotypic, genetic, and chemotaxonomic analyses. We show that the strains represent novel species in the family...
