A total of 64 γ-proteobacterial strains from 13 Orders, 22 families, 40 genera and 59 species were analyzed. The short 232 nucleotide sequence marker used here was a combination of a 157 nucleotide sequence at the 3’ end of the 16S rRNA gene and a 75 nucleotide sequence at the 5’ end of the 16S-23S Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequence. Comparative analyses of the 3’ end of the 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequence showed that the last 157 bp were conserved among strains from same species and less conserved in more distantly related species. This 157 bp sequence was selected as the first part in the construction of our nucleotide sequence marker. A bootstrapped neighbor-joining tree based on the alignment of this 157 bp was constructed. This 157 bp could distinguish γ-proteobacterial species from different genera from same family. Closely related species could not be distinguished. Next, an alignment of the 16S-23S ITS nucleotide sequences of alleles from same bacterial strain was performed. The first 75 bp at the 5’ end of the 16S-23S ITS was highly conserved at the intra-strain level. It was selected as the second part in the construction of our nucleotide sequence marker. Finally, a bootstrapped neighbor-joining tree based on the alignment of this 232 bp sequence was constructed. Based on the topology of the neighbour-joining tree, four major Groups, Group I to IV, were revealed with several sub-groups and clusters. Our results, based on the 232 bp sequence were, in general, in agreement with the phylogeny of γ-proteobacteria based on the 16S rRNA gene. The use of this 232 bp sequence as a phylogenetic marker presents several advantages over the use of the entire 16S rRNA gene or the generation of extensive phenotypic and genotypic data in phylogenetic analyses. First, this marker is not allele-dependant. Second, this 232 bp marker contains 157 bp from the 3’ end of the 16S rRNA gene and 75 bp from the 5’ end of the 16S-23S ITS. The 157 bp allows discrimination among distantly related species. Owing to its higher rate of nucleotide substitutions, the 75 bp adds discriminating power among closely related species from same genus and closely related genera from same family. Because of its higher percentage of nucleotide sequence divergence than the 16S rRNA gene, the 232 bp marker can better discriminate among closely related γ-proteobacterial species. Third, the method is simple, rapid, suited to large screening programs and easily accessible to most laboratories. Fourth, this marker can also reveal γ-proteobacterial species which may appear misassigned and for which additional characterization appear warranted.展开更多
Mitochondrial gene fragments of 16S rRNA gene of four species (Rhacophorus rhodopus, R. reinwardtii, Philautus albopunctatus and P. rhododiscus ) from 11 populations were sequenced in this study. Homologous sequence...Mitochondrial gene fragments of 16S rRNA gene of four species (Rhacophorus rhodopus, R. reinwardtii, Philautus albopunctatus and P. rhododiscus ) from 11 populations were sequenced in this study. Homologous sequences of R. bipunctatus, Theloderma asperum, T. corticale and Buergeria japonica were obtained by screening the GenBank database. After excluding all gaps and ambiguous positions, aligned sequences were 500 bp in length with 115 variable sites and 92 parsimony-informative sites. Using B .japonica as an outgroup, phylogenetic relationships were analyzed using Bayesian inference, maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods. Our results indicated that neither of R. rhodopus and P. albopunctatus were monophyletic at the species level. The population of R. rhodopus from Hainan Island was more close to R. bipunctatus than to populations of R. rhodopus from Yunnan Province. Furthermore, the populations of R. rhodopus from Yunnan Province can be divided into two main lineages. Theloderma corticale and P.rhododiscus were clustered together and T. asperum was nested in P.albopunctatus. We considered that P. albopunctatus Liu and Hu, 1962, was the synonymy of T. asperum Boulenger, 1886, and suggested removing P. rhododiscus from Philautus into the genus Theloderma.展开更多

Microbiota inhabiting in small intestine (especially ileum) are assumed to promote health, but their functional properties are yet poody dascdbed. As indicated by the 16S rRNA gene sequences of ileal micrebiota in nursing piglets (at the age of 21 and 28 d) and 28-day-old weaned piglets (weaned at 21 d of age), the microbiota were mainly comprised of gram-positive bacteria. There were 40 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) (from 171 clones) in the ileum of nursing piglets aged 21 d, 61 OTUs (from 194 clones) in the ileum of nursing piglets aged 28 d, and 56 OTUs (from 171 clones) in the ileum of weaned piglets aged 28 d. The flea of nursing piglets aged 21 d were dominantly occupied by Lactobacilli (87.7%) as well as Streptococ cus ( 3.5 % ). Lactobacillus amy/ovorus (41.5 % ), Lactobaci/lus sp. ( 19.3 % ), Lactobaci/lus reuteri ( 12.3 % ), Lactobacillus salivarius ( 9.4 % ) and L. mucosae (4.7%) were the predominant species among Lactobacil/L Similar results were obtained in the nursing piglets at 28 d of age ex- cept that Lactobaci/li decreased to 71.1% and Streptococcus increased to 21.1% significantly. Lactobacillus (52.0%) and Streptococcus (26.3%) were the two major groups in the ileum of weaned piglets aged 28 d. Lactobacillus amylovorus (31.6%) and Lactobaci/lus reuteri ( 16.4% ) was the two most important species in Lactobacillus. Therefore, Lactobacilli were predominant in the ileum of nursing and weaned piglets, and they had the highest diversity, followed by Streptococcus. The diversity of ileal microbiota was not different remarkably between the nursing piglets and the weaned piglets, but the composition changed significantly. These findings are helpful to understand ileal bacterial ecophysiology and further develop nutritional regimes to prevent or counteract complications during the weaning transition.展开更多
