Determination of the Diversity of Rhodopirellula Isolates from European Seas by Multilocus Sequence Analysis
In the biogeography of microorganisms, the habitat size of an attached-living bacterium has never been investigated. We approached this theme with a multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) study of new strains of Rhodopirellula sp., an attached-living planctomycete. The development of an MLSA for Rhodop...
