Classification of methanogenic bacteria by 16S ribosomal RNA characterization

G E Fox et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

The 16S ribosomal RNAs from 10 species of methanogenic bacteria have been characterized in terms of the oligonucleotides produced by T(1) RNase digestion. Comparative analysis of these data reveals the methanogens to constitute a distinct phylogenetic group containing two major divisions. These organisms appear to be only distantly related to typical bacteria.
