Evaluation of 23S rRNA PCR primers for use in phylogenetic studies of bacterial diversity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The availability of a diverse set of 23S rRNA gene sequences enabled evaluation of the specificity of 39 previously published and 4 newly designed primers specific for bacteria. An extensive clone library constructed using an optimized primer pair resulted in similar gene richness but slightly differing coverage of some phylogenetic groups, compared to a 16S rRNA gene library from the same environmental sample.

Genetic variations of avian Pasteurella multocida as demonstrated by 16S-23S rRNA gene sequences comparison
Pasteurella multocida is known as an important heterogenic bacterial agent causes some severe diseases such as fowl cholera in poultry and haemorrhagic septicaemia in cattle and buffalo. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed using primers derived from conserved part of 16S-23S rRNA gene. The PCR amplified a fragment size of 0.7 kb using DNA from nine avian P. multocida isolates...
متن کاملComparative phylogenetic analyses of members of the order Planctomycetales and the division Verrucomicrobia: 23S rRNA gene sequence analysis supports the 16S rRNA gene sequence-derived phylogeny.
Almost complete 23S rRNA gene sequences were obtained from 13 planctomycete strains, the fimbriated, prosthecate bacterium Verrucomicrobium spinosum and two strains of the genus Prosthecobacter. The 23S rRNA genes were amplified by the PCR, using modified primers. The majority of the planctomycete strains investigated were shown to have 23S rRNA genes that were not linked to the 16S rRNA genes....
متن کاملPhylogeny of Rhizobium galegae with respect to other rhizobia and agrobacteria.
PCR-RFLP with nine restriction enzymes was applied to the 16S and 23S rRNA genes of 42 rhizobial and agrobacterial strains to determine the phylogenetic position of Rhizobium galegae and increase the understanding of the evolution of ribosomal operons. The strains were selected based on previous phylogenetic studies. PCR primers were designed so that they amplified a 2.3 kb fragment of the 23S ...
متن کاملPhytoplasma phylogenetics based on analysis of secA and 23S rRNA gene sequences for improved resolution of candidate species of 'Candidatus Phytoplasma'.
Phytoplasma phylogenetics has focused primarily on sequences of the non-coding 16S rRNA gene and the 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region (16-23S ISR), and primers that enable amplification of these regions from all phytoplasmas by PCR are well established. In this study, primers based on the secA gene have been developed into a semi-nested PCR assay that results in a sequence of the expected ...
متن کاملEvaluation of PCR methods for rapid identification and differentiation of Streptococcus uberis and Streptococcus parauberis.
Streptococcus uberis and Streptococcus parauberis reference strains and isolates obtained from routine diagnostics were investigated by PCR with oligonucleotide primers designed according to species-specific parts of the 16S rRNA gene, the 23S rRNA gene, and the 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region of both species. All three primer pairs allowed an identification of 67 isolates as S. uberis an...
