Evaluation of using a short region of the recA gene for rapid and sensitive speciation of dominant bifidobacteria in the human large intestine1
17 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
The feasibility of intragenerically characterizing bifidobacteria by a comparison of a short region within the recA gene was tested. An approximately 300 bp fragment of the recA gene was PCR-amplified from six species from the genus Bifidobacterium using primers directed to two universally conserved regions of the recA gene. A phylogenetic analysis of the sequenced recA products compared favorably to...
