A total of 463 Streptomyces and Kitasatospora type strains were screened using 16S-ITS RFLP fingerprinting (combined restriction digest using enzymes BstUI and HaeIII). In total, 59 clusters could be delineated, each comprising multiple strains with nearly identical patterns. Good correlation was found in general with phylogeny, as revealed by 16S rDNA sequencing. Most strains assigned to a particular 16S-ITS RFLP cluster were classified into the corresponding 16S sequencing cluster whether a 16S similarity cut-off value of 97 or 98% was used. We conclude that the taxonomic resolution of 16S-ITS RFLP fingerprinting is higher than that of 16S rDNA sequencing; this may provide a tool for reducing the number of laborious DNA-DNA hybridizations necessary for discovering potentially new species within Streptomyces.

Laboratory of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 541 24, Thessaloniki, Greece.
The Prespa lakes plain is an isolated area where about 1000 ha are seeded to Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Phaseolus coccineus L. Nodulation, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) presence and the genetic diversity of rhizobia were evaluated by 16S-ITS-23S-RFLP patterns and by sequencing.

The use of Pseudomonas bacteria in bioproducts must be preceded by the acquisition, characterization and selection of beneficial strains living in the soil. A prerequisite for the selection of bacterial strains for use in bioproducts is to be able to identify the isolates rapidly and accurately.

Symptoms of water-soaked lesions and soft rot were first observed in June 2011 on bell pepper fruits (Capsicum annuum cv. Annuum) in the two main regions of pepper production in Malaysia (Cameron Highlands and Johor State). Economic losses exceeded 40% in severely infected fields and greenhouses with the estimated disease incidence of 70%.

Ten thermophilic bacterial strains were isolated from manure compost. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA genes and biochemical characterization allowed identification of four different species belonging to four genera: Geobacillus thermodenitrificans, Bacillus smithii, Ureibacillus suwonensis and Aneurinibacillus thermoaerophilus. PCR-RFLP profiles of the 16S-ITS-23S rRNA region allowed us to distinguish two subgroups among the G.

Aims: To perform a systematic evaluation of the applicability, validity and reliability of the long PCR-RFLP of 16S-ITS-23S rRNA genes for bacterial genotyping using both sequences retrieved from public genome databases and the experimental data obtained on bacterial cultures.
Methods And Results: 3301 Full-length sequences of 16S-ITS-23S rRNA genes were retrieved from 885 published bacterial genomes. Copy numbers of the whole set of 16S-ITS-23S rRNA genes per genome ranged from 1 (n = 161) to 14 (n = 4) with an average of 3.
