摘要: Publisher Summary Recent advances in the biochemistry of microorganisms have revealed that cell-component analysis can be effectively applied to bacterial systematics, providing the basis of chemotaxonomy. Analyses of cell components are coming to be essential tools not only for bacterial classification but also for identification. The sequence of chromosomal DNA holds the essential genetic information for an organism. Phylogenetic relationships are often examined using data on nucleotide sequences of ribosomal RNA. However, it is still …
