Abstract excerpt
Members of the genus Actinoplanes are considered to be representative of motile actinomycetes. To infer the flagellar diversity of Actinoplanes species, novel degenerate primers were designed for the flagellin (fliC) gene. The fliC gene of 21 Actinoplanes strains was successfully amplified and classified into two groups based on whether they were large (type I) or small (type II). Comparison of the translated...
