Phylogenetic analysis and development of probes for differentiating methylotrophic bacteria

Abstract: Fifteen small-subunit rRNAs from methylotrophic bacteria have been sequenced. Comparisons of these sequences with 22 previously published sequences further defined the phylogenetic relationships among these bacteria and illustrated the agreement between phylogeny and physiological characteristics of the bacteria. Phylogenetic trees were constructed with 16S rRNA sequences from methylotrophic bacteria and representative organisms from subdivisions within the class Proteobacteria on the basis of sequence similar… Show more

“…Regions diagnostic for each of the available representatives of the five genera and for the identification of RUMP containing methanotrophs were selected for probe design. A probe for methylotrophs containing the serine pathway was also made, this being the complement of the 9a probe previously described by Brusseau et al [16] and Tsien et al [30]. 16s rRNA gene probe sequences and control organisms are shown in Table 1.…”

“…3). The D2 and D3 bands were closely related to genera Methylomonas and Methylobacter, respectively, which are known to belong to type I methanotrophs (Brusseau et al, 1994). When the samples from three different depths were analysed in triplicate, the bands marked as D2 and D3 in Fig.…”

“…Homology research and sequence comparisons were achieved on the Infobiogen server (Villejuif, France) with Fasta version 3.3t04 [21] and Align version 2.0u [22] programs. Reference strains of carbofuran-degrading bacteria, Sphingomonas CF06 [23], WM111 [5] and ER2 [7] were included in the phylogenetic tree as well as some reference methylotrophic strains [24].…”

“…Carbofuran-degrading micro-organisms generally utilize methylamine for growth and thus belong to the heterogeneous group of bacteria known as facultative methylotrophs. Several reports have stressed the high degree of diversity among these organisms which can belong to the K-, L-and Q-subdivisions of the Proteobacteria [7,24]. Fig.…”
