Grain legumes are an important component of sustainable agri-food systems. They establish
symbiotic association with rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, thus reducing the use …

The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive update on the current classification and
identification of Haemophilus and Aggregatibacter species with exclusive or predominant …

With the rise of multi-drug resistant pathogens and the decline in number of potential new
antibiotics in development there is a fervent need to reinvigorate the natural products …

There is a need for easy, practical, reliable and robust techniques for the identification and
classification of bacterial isolates to the species level as alternatives to 16S rRNA gene …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of RNA polymerase α subunit (rpoA) and
phenylalanyl-tRNA synthase (pheS) gene sequences as species identification tools for …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of the phenylalanyl-tRNA synthase alpha
subunit (pheS) and the RNA polymerase alpha subunit (rpoA) partial gene sequences for …

Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) was performed on representatives of Ensifer
(including species previously assigned to the genus Sinorhizobium) and related taxa …

The use of multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) for the taxonomy of Bradyrhizobium was
assessed. We compared partial sequences for atpD, recA, gyrB, rpoB and dnaK for a set of …

Whatever else they should share, strains of bacteria assigned to the same species should
have house-keeping genes that are similar in sequence. Single gene sequences (or rRNA …

Sequences of the gene encoding the β-subunit of the RNA polymerase (rpoB) were used to
delineate the phylogeny of the family Pasteurellaceae. A total of 72 strains, including the …
