چکیده
The aim of the present study was to analyse sequences of 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer regions of different Geobacillus species, identify structural elements of these regions and evaluate the possibility to use these structural elements in the taxonomy of the genus Geobacillus. GEOBAC-PCR was used in order to obtain 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer sequences. Certain structural elements were identified in these sequences: the genes of tRNAIle and tRNAAla, antitermination element boxA and variable regions of different length located between tDNAAla and boxA (V1) as well as between boxA and the conservative 3’ end region of the spacer (V2). Sequence of the part of 3’ end region of 16S-23S internal transcribed spacers has been proved to be the genus signature region. A variable spacer between tRNA genes and region V1 as well as sequence of tRNAAla gene carried signature information of species and species group.

Molecular Identification of Rare Clinical Mycobacteria by Application of 16S-23S Spacer Region Sequencing
Objective(s) In addition to several molecular methods and in particular 16S rDNA analysis, the application of a more discriminatory genetic marker, i.e., 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer gene sequence has had a great impact on identification and classification of mycobacteria. In the current study we aimed to apply this sequencing power to conclusive identification of some Iranian clinical ...

Twenty-six strains of acetic acid bacteria were isolated from fruits, flowers and related materials collected in Thailand. They were divided into three genera, Acetobacter, Gluconobacter and Asaia, by phenotypic characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. On the basis of 16S-23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (16S-23S rDNA ITS) restriction and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, f...

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...

A bacterial strain, designated BzDS03 was isolated from water sample, collected from Dal Lake Srinagar. The strain was characterized by using 16S ribosomal RNA gene and 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer region sequences. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 16S rRNA sequence of the isolate formed a monophyletic clade with genera Escherichia. The closest phylogenetic relative was Escherichia...

A short 220 bp sequence was used to study the taxonomic organization of the bacterial Order Bacillales. The nucleotide sequences of the 3’ end of the 16S rDNA and the 16S-23S Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) were determined for 32 Bacillales species and strains. The data for 40 additional Bacillales species and strains were retrieved directly from Genbank. Together, these 72 Bacillales species...
