Phylogenetic analysis and the evolution of the 18S rRNA gene typing system of Acanthamoeba.

The Journal of eukaryotic microbiology - 1 Jan 2000

Fuerst Paul A, Booton Gregory C, Crary Monica

Abstract excerpt

Species of Acanthamoeba were first described using morphological characters including cyst structure and cytology of nuclear division. More than 20 nominal species were proposed using these methods. Morphology, especially cyst shape and size, has proven to be plastic and dependent upon culture conditions. The DNA sequence of the nuclear small-subunit (18S) rRNA, the Rns gene, has become the most widely accepted...
