The molecular phylogeny of the Buccinidae (Caenogastropoda: Neogastropoda) as inferred from the complete mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences of selected representatives
نویسنده
چکیده
Complete mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences from 35 caenogastropods were obtained to evaluate the phylogenetic relationship of the family Buccinidae at the intra-supra familial level. With respect to intergeneric relationships within the family, the molecular phylogeny supported three clades with statistical significance: Buccinum + Neptunea, Engina + Pisania + Pollia and Penion + Kelletia. These groupings are generally consistent with the morphological and paleontological evidence. In particular, it is noteworthy that the monophyly of Penion and Kelletia was established. Their close relationship as antitropical genera is confirmed for the first time. Babylonia was positioned remotely from the other buccinids confirming recent morphological and molecular work. The monophyly of the current concept of Buccinidae was violated by intercalations of nassariids and fasciolariids.

Phylogeny of urate oxidase producing bacteria: on the basis of gene sequences of 16S rRNA and uricase protein
Uricase or Urate oxidase (urate:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.7.3.3), a peroxisomal enzyme which is found in many bacteria, catalyzes the oxidative opening of the purine ring of urate to yield allantoin, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen peroxide. In this study, the phylogeny of urate oxidase (uricase) producing bacteria was studied based on gene sequences of 16S rRNA and uricase protein. Repres...

متن کاملDetails of gastropod phylogeny inferred from 18S rRNA sequences.
Some generally accepted viewpoints on the phylogenetic relationships within the molluscan class Gastropoda are reassessed by comparing complete 18S rRNA sequences. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using the neighbor-joining and maximum parsimony methods. The previously suggested basal position of Archaeogastropoda, including Neritimorpha and Vetigastropoda, in the gastropod clade is confirm...
متن کاملMolecular Study of Mycobaterium avium-intracellular Complex Strains
It is difficult to distinguish between clinically significant slowly-growing, non-pigmented mycobacteria, notably to separate M. aviumand M. intracellulare from one another and from M. scrofulaceum strains. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which 16S rRNA sequencing could be used to highlight the taxonomic relationships of the mycobacterial strains, which are difficult to ...

Actinomycetes are inexhaustible producers of commercially valuable metabolites, are continually screened for beneficial compounds. The taxonomic and phylogenetic study of novel actinomycetes strains are mostly based on conventional methods and primary DNA structure of 16s rRNA. Although 16s rRNA sequence is well accepted in phylogeny studies, its secondary structures have not been widely used. ...
