Phylogenetic Analysis of Histoplasma capsulatum Based on Partial Sequence of the D1/D2 Region of the 288 rRNA Gene
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to confirm the phylogenetic relationships of Histoplasma capsulatum, the partial sequences of large subunit (28S) ribosomal gene (D1/D2 region) of 49 isolates were studied. The similarity values of the 49 isolates were more than 99.0% across 617 base pairs, however, the 49 isolates were divided into 9 groups. These 9 groups were independent of 3 varieties, var. capsulatum, var. farciminosum and var. duboisii. These results showed that analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the 28S rRNA gene was very effective for identification of H. capsulatum and that three varieties of H. capsulatum should be reclassified according to the phylogenetic relationship established from analysis of the D1/D2 region sequences.

متن کاملMolecular characterization of Mycoplasma synoviae isolates from commercial chickens in Iran
Detection of Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been reported from commercial chicken farms in different provinces of Iran. In some reports the phylogenetic analysis of MS isolates based on 16S rRNA and variable lipoprotein hemagglutinin (vlhA) genes have been carried out. The PCR product containing partial 16S rRNA genes of Iranain isolates was sequence...
متن کاملIdentification of yeast species from uncultivated soils by sequence analysis of the hypervariable D1/D2 domain of LSU–rDNA gene in Kermanshah province, Iran
Yeasts are a polyphyletic group of ascomycete and basidiomycete fungi characterized by having a unicellular growth phase and sexual stages that are not enclosed in fruiting bodies. An attempt was made to identify yeast species in uncultivated soils collected from different areas of Kermanshah province, Iran, by analyzing hypervariable D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rDNA gene sequencean...
متن کاملA comparative phylogenetic analysis of Theileria spp. by using two two "18S ribosomal RNA" and "Theileria annulata merozoite surface antigen" gene sequences
More than 185 species, strains and unclassified Theileria parasites are categorized in the Entrez Taxonomy. The accurate diagnosis and proper identification of the causative agents are important for understanding the epidemiology, prevention and appropriate treatment. This study aims to discuss the importance of two genes of Theileria annulata 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) and Theileria annulata...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of the Persian Gulf Sea Hare (Aplysia sp.) Based on 16s rRNA Gene Sequence
Background: Sea hares of the Aplysia genus are among the mollusks of interest for various researchers to study their phylogeny, bioactive compounds and the nervous system. These mollusks are herbivorous and produce chemical compounds (ink) to defend themselves. The present study provided molecular identification of the Persian Gulf (Bushehr city) sea hare using 16s rRNA gene sequence. Materials...
