“…Recently, R, amylophilus was transferred from the genus Bacteroides on the basis of the results of comparative 16S ribosomal RNA cataloging (15). But it has been suggested that Bacteroides amylophilus differs from the majority of Bacteroides species in its cellular fatty acid composition (10) and in the absence of sphingophospholipids (16). So B. amylophilus should be removed from Bacteroides sensu stricto (10,17).…”

“…In addition, guanine-plus-cytosine contents of the DNA of the bacteroides were shown to range broadly from 28 to 61 mol% (10). Attempts to better classify this bacterial group have been made on the bases of physiologic characteristics (10), electrophoretic patterns of dehydrogenases (34), cellular fatty acid and sugar composition (3,4,18), lipid analysis (19,26), serology (15), and bacteriophage typing (2). The diversity of this bacterial group was further demonstrated in studies using 16S rRNA oligonucleotide cataloging (25), rRNA-DNA hybridization (12), DNA homology (11,36), and 5S rRNA comparative analysis (35).…”

Phylogeny of Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Porphyromonas spp. and related bacteria

The phylogenetic structure of the bacteroides subgroup of the cytophaga-flavobacter-bacteroides (CFB) phylum was examined by 16S rRNA sequence comparative analysis. Approximately 95% of the 16S rRNA sequence was determined for 36 representative strains of species of Prevotella, Bacteroides, and Porphyromonas and related species by a modified Sanger sequencing method. A phylogenetic tree was constructed from a corrected distance matrix by the neighbor-joining method, and the reliability of tree branching was established by bootstrap analysis. The bacteroides subgroup was divided primarily into three major phylogenetic clusters which contained most of the species examined. The first cluster, termed the prevotella cluster, was composed of 16 species of Prevotella, including P. melaninogenica, P. intermedia, P. nigrescens, and the ruminal species P. ruminicola. Two oral species, P. zoogkoformans and P. heparinolytica, which had been recently placed in the genus PrevoteUla, did not fall within the prevotella cluster. These two species and six species of Bacteroides, including the type species B. fragilis, formed the second cluster, termed the bacteroides cluster. The third cluster, termed the porphyromonas cluster, was divided into two subclusters. The first contained Porphyromonas gingivalis, P. endodontalis, P. asaccharolytica, P. circumdentaria, P. salivosa, [Bacteroides] [Bacteroides] splanchnicus fell just outside the three major clusters but still belonged within the bacteroides subgroup. On the basis of bootstrap analysis, the remaining species, [Bacteroides] putredinis, Rikenella microfusus, and two misclassified, free-living species of Cytophaga, appeared to form an additional subgroup separate from the bacteroides and other subgroups of the CFB phylum. However, on classification by single-base signatures, these species belonged within the bacteroides subgroup. Additional single-base signatures defined and differentiated clads within the bacteroides subgroup. With few exceptions, the 16S rRNA data were in overall agreement with previously proposed reclassifications of species of Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Porphyromonas. Suggestions are made to accommodate those species which do not fit previous reclassification schemes.The taxonomy of the "bacteroides" has undergone significant changes in the past few years. Species of this bacterial group were once loosely defined as obligately anaerobic, gram-negative, nonsporulating, pleomorphic rods. In addition, guanine-plus-cytosine contents of the DNA of the bacteroides were shown to range broadly from 28 to 61 mol% (10). Attempts to better classify this bacterial group have been made on the bases of physiologic characteristics (10), electrophoretic patterns of dehydrogenases (34), cellular fatty acid and sugar composition (3, 4, 18), lipid analysis (19, 26), serology (15), and bacteriophage typing (2). The diversity of this bacterial group was further demonstrated in studies using 16S rRNA oligonucleotide cataloging (25), rRNA-DNA hybridization (12), DNA homol...
