Si. Belikov et al., DETERMINATION OF THE TAXONOMIC POSITION OF BACTERIA FROM LAKE-BAIKAL BY SEQUENCING 16S RIBOSOMAL-RNA FRAGMENTS, Microbiology, 65(6), 1996, pp. 746-754
The taxonomic position of seven strains of aquatic bacteria from Lake
Baikal was determined based on the analysis of the nucleotide sequence
s of 16S rRNA gene fragments. Three strains belonged to the gamma-subc
lass of Proteobacteria, one strain, to the beta-subclass, and the othe
r three strains were assigned to the genus Bacillus (gram-positive bac
teria with a low G+C content).
