JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 50 IS 2 SP 781 OP 785 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-50-2-781 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB The closer proximity of Frankia and Acidothermus cellulolyticus relative to the morphologically close Geodermatophilus found previously was confirmed by resequencing the rrs gene of Acidothermus cellulolyticus and the housekeeping gene, recA. The diagnostic sugar 2-O-methyl-D-mannose was detected only in Frankia, while hopanoid lipids were present at high levels in both Acidothermus and Frankia., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-50-2-781
