16S rRNA phylogeny and clustering is not a reliable proxy for genome-based taxonomy in Streptomyces
10 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces is among the most extensively studied genera of bacteria but its complex taxonomy remains contested and is suspected to contain significant species-level misclassification. Resolving the classification of Streptomyces would benefit many areas of applied microbiology that rely on an accurate ground truth for grouping of related organisms, including comparative genomics-based searches for novel...
