Abstract excerpt
To clarify the intra- and intergeneric relationships of the genus Cytophaga, 16S rRNA sequences and respiratory isoprenoid quinones were determined for the type strains of the 21 validly published species and one isolate in the genus Cytophaga. The sequence analysis revealed extreme heterogeneity of this genus, which diverged into nine distinct lines of descent. Each lineage of Cytophaga was characterized by...
