Abstract excerpt
Given the advances in molecular biology, many microbial taxonomists feel that a sequencing based method should be developed that can replace DNA-DNA hybridisation for species delineation. The potential of the gyrB gene to be used for phylogenetic studies has been investigated within a number of actinobacterial genera, including Gordonia, Micromonospora and the whorl-forming Streptomyces species. This study aimed...
