A1 GAJU, N.YR 1997 T1 Genomic Relationship of Five Species of the Genus Chromatium by Analysis of Large Restriction Fragments (Macrorestriction Analysis) Using Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 47 IS 2 SP 586 OP 589 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-47-2-586 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Large restriction fragment (macrorestriction) patterns resolved by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were used to calculate the genomic similarity within and among five members of the genus Chromatium with closely related phenotypes: C. minutissimum, C. vinosum, C. gracile, C. salexigens, and C. tepidum. PFGE allowed the study of the genomic organizations of these organisms. The results reveal a high level of homogeneity among the strains of C. vinosum analyzed. Moreover, there seems to be a close genetic relationship between C. vinosum and C. minutissimum. , UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-47-2-586
