Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2017 Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

The gyrB gene is a useful phylogenetic marker for exploring the diversity of flavobacterium strains isolated from terrestrial and aquatic habitats in Antarctica [PDF]
, 2011 Within the phylum Bacteroidetes, the gyrB gene, encoding for the B subunit of the DNA gyrase, has been used as phylogenetic marker for several genera closely related to Flavobacterium.

Taxonomy of the canine Mollicutes by 16S rRNA gene and 16S/23S rRNA intergenic spacer region sequence comparison [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2004 The taxonomy of canine Mollicutes is described, based on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene and 16S/23S rRNA intergenic spacer (IGS) region sequences. The nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA gene of two untyped mycoplasmas and the IGS region of 11 Mycoplasma species were determined and used for phylogenetic analysis.

Fluorescence in situ hybridisation detection of Lactobacillus plantarum group on olives to be used in natural fermentations [PDF]
, 2006 At present there are very few studies on the bacterial diversity of olives and on the importance of the microbial species for the fermentation of olives aimed to table olives production.

Haloglomus irregulare gen. nov., sp. nov., a New Halophilic Archaeon Isolated from a Marine Saltern [PDF]
, 2020 A halophilic archaeal strain, designated F16-60T, was isolated from Isla Cristina marine saltern in Huelva, Spain. Cells were pleomorphic, irregular, non-motile, and Gram-stain-negative. It produced red-pigmented colonies on agar plates.

Activity profiles for marine sponge-associated bacteria obtained by 16S rRNA vs 16S rRNA gene comparisons [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2010 Abstract The phylogenetic diversity of microorganisms in marine sponges is becoming increasingly well described, yet relatively little is known about the activities of these symbionts. Given the seemingly favourable environment provided to microbes by their sponge hosts, as indicated by the extraordinarily high abundance of sponge ...

16S rRNA Methylase–producing, Gram-Negative Pathogens, Japan
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 To investigate the exact isolation frequency of 16S rRNA methylase–producing, gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, we tested 87,626 clinical isolates from 169 hospitals. Twenty-six strains from 16 hospitals harbored 16S rRNA methylase genes, which suggests

Primer selection impacts specific population abundances but not community dynamics in a monthly time-series 16S rRNA gene amplicon analysis of coastal marine bacterioplankton. [PDF]
, 2018 Primers targeting the 16S small subunit ribosomal RNA marker gene, used to characterize bacterial and archaeal communities, have recently been re-evaluated for marine planktonic habitats.

Clinical usefulness of 16S ribosomal RNA real-time PCR for the diagnosis of scrub typhus
Scientific Reports, 2021 Scrub typhus is a major acute febrile disease in the Asia–Pacific region. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the clinical usefulness of real-time PCR (Q-PCR) of 16S rRNA for the diagnosis of scrub typhus.
