| Abstract: | A sequence analysis of the 16S-rRNA of Methanococcoides euhalobius revealed that this organism was highly related to members of the genus Methanohalophilus. On the basis of sequence data, an oligonucleotide probe specific to Methanohalophilus species was designed. Hybridization studies with this probe confirmed close relationship of Methanococcoides euhalobius to Methanohalophilus species. Therefore, we propose that Methanococcoides euhalobius should be transferred to the genus Methanohalophilus as Methanohalophilus euhalobius. |
