Intrastrain internal transcribed spacer (ITS) heterogeneity is first reported from Ganoderma, a fungal genus within Basidiomycetes. ITS amplification products from 4 strains, representing 4 Ganoderma species, were cloned and sequenced. Two to five different ITS types were found within a single strain. The clone sequences were analyzed along with other sequences from Ganoderma retrieved from GenBank. The results show that sequence variation within strains varies considerably with species and the heterogeneity may occur in the 3 parts (ITS1, ITS2, and 5.8S) of the ITS region. 相似文献

The phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity of the basidiomycetous yeast species Rhodotorula glutinis was investigated in a group of 109 isolates. A polyphasic taxonomic approach was followed which included PCR fingerprinting, determination of sexual compatibility, 26S and ITS rDNA sequence analysis, DNA-DNA reassociation experiments and reassessment of micromorphological and physiological attributes. The relationships with species of the teleomorphic genus Rhodosporidium were studied and isolates previously identified as Rh. glutinis were found to belong to Rhodosporidium babjevae, Rhodosporidium diobovatum and Rhodosporidium sphaerocarpum. Other isolates included in the study were found to belong to Rh. glutinis var. dairenensis, which is elevated to the species level, or to undescribed species. The concept of Rh. glutinis sensu stricto is proposed due to the close phenetic and phylogenetic proximity detected for Rh. glutinis, Rhodotorula graminis and R. babjevae. 相似文献

We have determined the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences (including the 5.8S ribosomal DNA) of 30 strains of 14 species belonging to eight vahlkampfiid genera. Each previously described species has a specific ITS sequence, except for Tetramitus aberdonicus, Tetramitus thorntoni, and Tetramitus jugosus, which have identical ITS sequences. The latter three may therefore constitute a single species despite their apparent phenotypic differences. The ITS sequence appears to be conserved within a species. The species Willaertia magna appears to be ubiquitous. The 5.8S rDNA sequences of Singhamoeba horticola and Learamoeba waccamwensis indicate that they do not represent different genera, but both belong to the genus Tetramitus. The ITS sequences of 16 undescribed vahlkampfiid isolates were determined. Based on these sequences, seven isolates were identified as belonging to described species, while nine probably represent seven new species. Five of these presumed new species belong to the genus Tetramitus, and one each to the genera Vahlkampfia and Paravahlkampfia. 相似文献

The detection of heterogeneity of the 16S-23S ribosomal intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) region has become rather common over the past years for identification and typing purposes of bacteria. The ITS not only varies in sequence and length, but also in number of alleles per genome and in their position on the chromosome together with the ribosomal clusters. The ITS characterisation has allowed discrimination of several species within a genus and variation in ITS sequences between the multiple rrn operons present within a genome may be as high or greater than between strains of the same species or subspecies. It is important to understand the variability of ITS sequences in a given genome to gain insights into bacterial physiology and taxonomy. The present study describes the possibility to type Streptococcus pneumoniae by PCR-ribotyping of the spacer region, the determination of the molecular structure of the ITS, and the determination of the number and localisation of rrn operons in this microorganism. Our results show that the genome of S. pneumoniae contains four ribosomal operons, showing the same genomic organisation among strains, each containing a single ITS allele of 270 bp. The ITS sequence presents a mosaic organisation of blocks highly conserved intra- and inter-species within the genus Streptococcus, giving no possibility for variations to arise. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) regions were determined for 13 species within the genus
Candida, representing a collection of those species pathogenic for humans. No two species had identical sequences and the sizes of
ITS2 varied fourfold, representing an apparent continuous gradient of nucleotides. When present, sequence homologies were
observed in the 5′ end of ITS2, and many species exhibited more limited homologies within three known conserved domains found
in other yeasts. Cluster analysis of primary sequence revealed a concordance with a known taxonomic subfamily and suggests
that certain species within the genus form a similar grouping. A majority of species exhibited similar presumptive RNA secondary
structures, consistent with the hypothesis that these spacer regions are essential for correct processing of the 5.8S and
28S subunits.

The internally transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of several members within each of 17 soybean bradyrhizobial serogroups were determined to establish whether the regions within all members of each serogroup were identical. The rationale was to provide a sequence-based alternative to serology. The objective also was to link the extensive older literature on soybean symbiosis based on serology with ITS sequence data for more recent isolates from both soybean and other legumes nodulated by rhizobia within the genus Bradyrhizobium. With the exception of serogroup 31 and 110 strains, sequence identity was established within each serogroup. Variation ranged from 0 to 23 nucleotides among serogroup 31 strains, and the regions in the type strains USDA 31 (serogroup 31) and USDA 130 (serogroup 130) were identical. Sequence identity was established among most strains within serogroup 110. The exceptions were USDA 452 and USDA 456, which had ITS sequences that were identical with those of the serotype 124 strain, USDA 124. Perhaps this would imply that USDA 452, USDA 456, and serogroup 31 strains are members of rhizobial lineages resulting from genetic exchange and homologous recombination events. This conclusion would be supported by the construction of a phylogenetic network from the ITS sequence alignment implying that the genomes of extant members of the genus Bradyrhizobium are likely the products of reticulate evolutionary events. A pairwise homoplasy index (phi or Φw) test was used to obtain further evidence for recombination. The ITS sequences of USDA 110 and USDA 124 were more divergent (53 nucleotides) than this region between the type strain Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 6T and the proposed species Bradyrhizobium yuanmingense (28 nucleotides) and Bradyrhizobium liaoningense (48 nucleotides). Therefore, support for assigning discrete species boundaries among these three proposed species appears limited, considering the evidence for recombination, the narrow divergence of the ITS sequence, and their relative placement on the phylogenetic network. 相似文献

Tip100 is an Ac-like transposable element that belongs to the hAT superfamily. First discovered in Ipomoea purpurea (common morning glory), it was classified as an autonomous element capable of movement within the genome. As Tip100 data were already available in databases, the sequences of related elements in ten additional species of Ipomoea and five commercial varieties were isolated and analyzed. Evolutionary analysis based on sequence diversity in nuclear ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS), was also applied to compare the evolution of these elements with that of Tip100 in the Ipomoea genus. Tip100 sequences were found in I. purpurea, I. nil, I. indica and I. alba, all of which showed high levels of similarity. The results of phylogenetic analysis of transposon sequences were congruent with the phylogenetic topology obtained for ITS sequences, thereby demonstrating that Tip100 is restricted to a particular group of species within Ipomoea. We hypothesize that Tip100 was probably acquired from a common ancestor and has been transmitted vertically within this genus. 相似文献

The internal 16S/23S rDNA (rrs/rrl) internal spacer region 1 (ITS1) of 54 Ochrobactrum strains and close relatives was analysed. Separation of ITS1 containing PCR products by gel-electrophoresis, DGGE, cloning and sequencing revealed ITS1 length and sequence heterogeneity. We found up to 5 different allelic ITS1 stretches within a single strain (Ochrobactrum intermedium LMG 3301T), and 2-3 different ITS1 alleles in O. tritici. Within ITS1, ITS1c, being part of the conserved double-stranded rrn processing stem dsPS1, produced the most reliable segment tree. The overall ITS1, ITS1c and rrs phylogenetic tree topologies were generally consistent, but there was evidence for horizontal rrn (segment) transfer in O. tritici LMG 2134 (formerly O. anthropi). Good correlations were found between ITS1, ITS1c and rrs sequence similarity and DNA-DNA hybridization values indicating that phylogenetic analysis of ITS1 and ITS1c both can be used to preliminarily deduce the phylogenetic affiliation if HGT was excluded. Strains sharing > 96.19% ITS1c (> 95.11% ITS1) similarity fell within a species, and < or = 68.42% ITS1c (< or = 70.33% ITS1) similarity outside a genus. Both ITS1 and ITS1c analysis resolved microdiversity more profoundly than rrs analysis and revealed clades (genomovars) within O. anthropi that were also produced in rep cluster analysis. There was no evidence for habitat-specific ITS1 genomovars within Ochrobactrum species. Diversity of Ochrobactrum was higher in soil than at the rhizoplane below and at the species level. Isolates from soil contained only 1 rrn type whereas isolates from human clinical, animal and rhizoplane specimens could contain more. 相似文献

The complete 16S-23S rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) was sequenced in 35 reference strains of the Mycobacterium avium complex. Twelve distinct ITS sequences were obtained, each of which defined a "sequevar"; a sequevar consists of the strain or strains which have a particular sequence. ITS sequences were identified which corresponded to M. avium (16 strains, four ITS sequevars) and Mycobacterium intracellulare (12 strains, one ITS sequevars). The other seven M. avium complex strains had ITS sequences which varied greatly from those of M. avium and M. intracellulare and from each other. The 16S-23S rDNA ITS was much more variable than 16S rDNA, which is widely used for genus and species identification. Phylogenetic trees based on the ITS were compatible with those based on 16S rDNA but were more detailed and had longer branches. The results of ITS sequencing were consistent with the results of hybridization with M. avium and M. intracellulare probes (Gen-Probe) for 30 of 31 strains tested. Serologic testing correlated poorly with ITS sequencing. Strains with the same sequence were different serovars, and those of the same serovar had different sequences. Sequencing of the 16S-23S rDNA ITS should be useful for species and strain differentiation for a wide variety of bacteria and should be applicable to studies of epidemiology, diagnosis, virulence, and taxonomy. 相似文献

Among many isolates that resulted from four independent surveys of yeasts associated with plants in Brazil, the USA, Portugal and Taiwan, we have characterized eighteen basidiomycetous strains, two of which were conspecific with the type strain of Rhodotorula acheniorum, whereas the remaining sixteen isolates appeared not to correspond to any previously described species. Microsatellite-PCR fingerprinting with primers M13 and (GTG)5 confirmed that the latter strains formed three genetically distinct groups. Each group was considered to represent a distinct species based on nucleotide sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the 26S rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Phylogenetic analyses of sequence data placed the putative novel species in a clade with R. acheniorum and the dimorphic smut fungus Farysia chardoniana. A novel anamorphic genus, Farysizyma, is created to accommodate the three undescribed species, which were named Farysizyma itapuensis, Farysizyma setubalensis and Farysizyma taiwaniana. A new combination, Farysizyma acheniorum, is proposed for R. acheniorum, which may represent the yeast-phase anamorph of Farysia thuemenii. 相似文献

Small differences have been reported in the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region among strains of Neospora caninum. We compared ITS1 sequences among 6 N. caninum strains analyzed in our laboratory, including 2 strains that have not been examined previously (NC-Illinois and NC-Bahia). Five sequences showed 100% similarity and also were identical to 7 of 11 sequences that were previously reported by others. In contrast, initial attempts to sequence the ITS1 of NC-Bahia generated 12 nucleotide differences compared with the other 5 strains, and several ambiguous bases. However, the single band containing the ITS1 region, as observed after electrophoresis on a 2% agarose gel, became divided into 2 distinct bands when reanalyzed using 5 or 10% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), and the ITS1 within these separate bands were sequenced without ambiguity. The other 5 N. caninum strains were also reexamined using PAGE, and in each strain 2 distinct bands were discovered. In comparison, 2 strains of Toxoplasma gondii continued to show only 1 band when examined using PAGE. The ITS1 sequence of NC-Bahia, from Brazil, differs in several base pairs from those of North American and European strains of N. caninum. Intrastrain variation of the ITS1 region appears to be common in N. caninum, in contrast to T. gondii. 相似文献

Cortinarius is the most species rich genus of mushroom forming fungi with an estimated 2000 spp. worldwide. However, species delimitation within the genus is often controversial. This is particularly true in the section Calochroi (incl. section Fulvi), where the number of accepted taxa in Europe ranges between c.60 and c.170 according to different taxonomic schools. Here, we evaluated species delimitation within this taxonomically difficult group of species and estimated their phylogenetic relationships. Species were delimited by phylogenetic inference and by comparison of ITS sequence data in combination with morphological characters. A total of 421 ITS sequences were analyzed, including data from 53 type specimens. The phylogenetic relationships of the identified species were estimated by analyzing ITS data in combination with sequence data from the two largest subunits of RNA polymerase II (RPB1 and RPB2). Seventy-nine species were identified, which are believed to constitute the bulk of the diversity of this group in Europe. The delimitation of species based on ITS sequences is more consistent with a conservative morphological species concept for most groups. ITS sequence data from 30 of the 53 types were identical to other taxa, and most of these can be readily treated as synonyms. This emphasizes the importance of critical analysis of collections before describing new taxa. The phylogenetic separation of species was, in general, unambiguous and there is considerable potential for using ITS sequence data as a barcode for the group. A high level of homoplasy and phenotypic plasticity was observed for morphological and ecological characters. Whereas most species and several minor lineages can be recognized by morphological and ecological character states, these same states are poor indicators at higher levels. 相似文献

Re-evaluation of the phylogenetic relationship among species of the genus Tricholoma 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The internal transcribed spacer sequences spanning the regions between the 17S and 25S rRNAs (ITS1 and ITS2) and including the complete sequence of the 5.8S rRNA were used for phylogenetic analyses. This approach to define phylogenetic relationships within the genus Tricholoma was tested using different isolates of T. terreum. Fruitbodies identified in nature were analysed in order to allow use of morphology for taxonomy. The isolates from different locations were closely related as could be expected for one species. Thus, the method could be applied to different Tricholoma species. Three clusters within the genus Tricholoma can be distinguished with four additional species not included in any of these clusters. Molecular analyses of two Cortinarius species confirm a phylogenetically distinct genus. 相似文献

We analyzed sequences of the D1D2 domain of the 26S ribosomal RNA gene (26S rDNA sequence), and the region of internal transcribed spacer 1, 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene and internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS sequence) of the miso and soy sauce fermentation yeasts, Candida etchellsii and Candida versatilis, in order to evaluate the usefulness of this sequence analysis for identification and typing of these two species. In the 26S rDNA sequence method, the numbers of base substitutions among C. etchellsii strains were up to 2 in 482 bp (99.6% similarity), and they were divided into three types (types A, B, and C). Those of C. versatilis strains were also up to 2 in 521 bp (99.6% similarity) and they were divided into three types (types 1, 2, and 3). In the ITS sequence method, those of C. etchellsii strains were zero in 433 bp (type a, 100% similarity). Those of C. versatilis were 5 in 409 bp (98.8% similarity), divided into 4 types (types I, II, III and IV). It was found that molecular methods based on the sequences of the 26S rDNA D1D2 domain and the ITS region were rapid and precise compared with the physiological method for the identification and typing of these two species. 相似文献

Forty-nine strains belonging to the genus Gluconobacter were re-examined with respect to their species identification based on the sequences of the 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS). A phylogenetic tree constructed from the 16S rDNA sequences indicated the presence of five clusters corresponding, respectively, to the major five species of the genus Gluconobacter, namely G. albidus, G. cerinus, G. frateurii, G. oxydans (type species), and G. thailandicus. The type strain of G. asaii, NBRC 3276T (T=type strain) was included in the G. cerinus cluster, which is consistent with the report that G. asaii is a junior subjective synonym of G. cerinus. Existence of the G. albidus, G. cerinus, G. frateurii, G. oxydans, and G. thailandicus clusters was also recognized by the ITS sequence analysis. Both sequence analyses revealed that the G. cerinus and G. frateurii clusters were heterogeneous. The G. cerinus cluster comprised three strains of G. cerinus and one strain of G. frateurii, while the G. frateurii cluster included ten strains of G. frateurii, three of G. cerinus, and eleven of G. oxydans. These results suggest that phenotypic differences among Gluconobacter species are ambiguous and the species definition must be re-evaluated. The 16S rDNA and ITS sequences determined in this study are valuable for the identification and phylogenetic analysis of Gluconobacter species. 相似文献

As a result of conventional characterization of yeasts isolated from various plant leaves collected in Yunnan, China, six ballistoconidium-forming strains with orange-colored colonies were grouped together. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on 18S rDNA sequencing showed that two representative strains of this group of yeasts, CH 2.068 and CH 2.497, were closely related to the species in the genus Dioszegia and had signature sequences typical of this genus. However, the six strains from Yunnan differed from the described Dioszegia species remarkably (14.5-17.7% nucleotide divergences) in the ITS (internal transcribed spacer) region sequences, which indicated that they represent a distinct species. Furthermore, among the six strains studied, the ITS region sequence comparison allowed the recognition of two subgroups represented by CH 2.068 and CH 2.497, which differ from each other in three bases in the ITS 2 region. DNA-DNA relatedness revealed that the two subgroups represent two varieties of a new species in the genus Dioszegia, for which Dioszegia zsoltii sp. nov. var. zsoltii and Dioszegia zsoltii var. yunnanensis var. nov. are proposed. 相似文献

We analyzed the usefulness of rpoA, recA, and pyrH gene sequences for the identification of vibrios. We sequenced fragments of these loci from a collection of 208 representative strains, including 192 well-documented Vibrionaceae strains and 16 presumptive Vibrio isolates associated with coral bleaching. In order to determine the intraspecies variation among the three loci, we included several representative strains per species. The phylogenetic trees constructed with the different genetic loci were roughly in agreement with former polyphasic taxonomic studies, including the 16S rRNA-based phylogeny of vibrios. The families Vibrionaceae, Photobacteriaceae, Enterovibrionaceae, and Salinivibrionaceae were all differentiated on the basis of each genetic locus. Each species clearly formed separated clusters with at least 98, 94, and 94% rpoA, recA, and pyrH gene sequence similarity, respectively. The genus Vibrio was heterogeneous and polyphyletic, with Vibrio fischeri, V. logei, and V. wodanis grouping closer to the Photobacterium genus. V. halioticoli-, V. harveyi-, V. splendidus-, and V. tubiashii-related species formed groups within the genus Vibrio. Overall, the three genetic loci were more discriminatory among species than were 16S rRNA sequences. In some cases, e.g., within the V. splendidus and V. tubiashii group, rpoA gene sequences were slightly less discriminatory than recA and pyrH sequences. In these cases, the combination of several loci will yield the most robust identification. We can conclude that strains of the same species will have at least 98, 94, and 94% rpoA, recA, and pyrH gene sequence similarity, respectively. 相似文献
