Phylogenetic Relationships of Thermophilic Bacteria
Abstract
dc:descriptionThere are two lines of prokaryotic descent--the eubacteria and the archaebacteria. The phylogenetic relationships of several new isolates of extremely thermophilic bacteria have been determined and used to gain a deeper understanding of the role of thermophilic bacteria in early evolution. The 16S and 23S ribosomal RNA genes from the new bacterial isolates were cloned and sequenced. Several types of analysis on the sequences were used to place these extreme thermophiles in the phylogenetic trees of the eubacterial or archaebacterial kingdoms.
