Nucleotide sequences of streptomycete 16S ribosomal DNA: towards a specific identification system for streptomycetes using PCR
1 Sept 1995
Abstract excerpt
To facilitate the differential identification of the genus Streptomyces, the 16S rRNA genes of 17 actinomycetes were sequenced and screened for the existence of streptomycete-specific signatures. The 16S rDNA of the Streptomyces strains and Amycolatopsis orientalis subsp. lurida exhibited 95-100% similarity, while that of the 16S rDNA of Actinoplanes utahensis showed only 88% similarity to the streptomycete 16S...
