Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic characteristics while complimenting 16S rRNA gene sequencing in identifying bacteria become decisive in solving conflicts of equal % similarity of a given DNA sequence to more than one classified microorganisms. "Phenotypic light" may also indicate right direction when a new species' 16S rDNA sequence is under consideration. In fact 16S rRNA gene sequences give indication that either a novel species...
