| seven novel species of acinetobacter isolated from activated sludge. | thirteen isolates of acinetobacter were obtained from activated sludge plants in victoria, australia. earlier 16s-23s rdna genomic fingerprinting and partial 16s rdna sequence data had suggested that these isolates might contain previously undescribed species. this view was confirmed here. a polyphasic taxonomic approach involving phenotypic characterization, near-complete 16s rdna sequence data and dna-dna hybridization analyses support the view that seven novel genomic species can be different ... | 2003 | 12892111 |
