Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the large subunit rDNA from a diatom, and comparison between small and large subunit ribosomal RNA for studying stramenopile evolution
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to compare the usefulness of complete small and large subunit rRNA, and a combination of both molecules, for reconstructing stramenopile evolution, and indicated that heterokont algae are monophyletic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of 5S rRNA in actinomycetes and relatives and evolution of eubacteria.
Erna Dams,Takeshi Yamada,Raymond De Baere,Erik Huysmans,Antoon Vandenberghe,Rupert De Wachter +5 more
TL;DR: An attempt was made to reconstruct bacterial evolution from a sequence dissimilarity matrix based on 142 eubacterial 5S RNA sequences and corrected for multiple mutation, which results in a tree based on weighted pairwise clustering.
Journal ArticleDOI
The secondary structure of Nosema apis large subunit ribosomal RNA
TL;DR: The secondary structure of the large subunit ribosomal RNA (LSU rRNA) of the microsporidium Nosema apis is presented, with its 2481 bases, it is the shortest known non-mitochondrial LSU rRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Archaebacterial 5 S ribosomal RNA: Nucleotide sequence in two methanogen species, secondary structure models, and molecular evolution
TL;DR: Construction of secondary structure models for eleven archaebacterial 5 S RNA sequences presently known to us, and comparison with models for eubacterial and eukaryotic 5 S RNAs, allowed us to identify features specific for each of the primary kingdoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
5S rRNA sequences of representatives of the genera Chlorobium, Prosthecochloris, Thermomicrobium, Cytophaga, Flavobacterium, Flexibacter and Saprospira and a discussion of the evolution of eubacteria in general.
TL;DR: 5S rRNA sequences were determined for the green sulphur bacteria Chlorobium limicola, Ch chlorobium phaeobacteroides and Prosthecochloris aestuarii, and for Thermomicrobium roseum, which is a relative of the green non-sulphur bacteria, and all other known eubacterial 5S RNA sequences failed to group with Bacteroide and related clusters.
