S. Selenskapobell et E. Evguenievahackenberg, FRAGMENTATIONS OF THE LARGE-SUBUNIT RIBOSOMAL-RNA IN THE FAMILY RHIZOBIACEAE, Journal of bacteriology, 177(23), 1995, pp. 6993-6998
A 130-nucleotide-long rRNA species corresponding to the 5' end of the
23S rRNA gene was found in 96 strains belonging to different Rhizobium
, Bradyrhizobium, and Agrobacterium species. Additional fragmentation
in the central region of the large-subunit rRNA occurred in all agroba
cteria, except Agrobacterium vitis, and in most Rhizobium leguminosaru
m and Rhizobium etli strains but did not occur in any of the other rhi
zobia and bradyrhizobia studied.
