Genomic Characteristics of Pig Isolates and Wild Boar Isolates Reveal the Unique Presence of a Putative Mobile Genetic Element with for Pig Farm Isolates.

Genomic analysis was performed on seven strains of , a -associated . Three strains from the feces of domestic pigs () and four strains from the rectal feces of free-range Japanese wild boars () were compared. The phylogenetic position of these isolates suggested by genomic analyses were not concordant with that suggested by 16S rRNA sequence.

Comparative Analysis of Chloroplast Promoters in Terrestrial Plants.

The transcription of photosynthesis genes encoded by the plastid genome is mainly mediated by a prokaryotic-type RNA polymerase called plastid-encoded plastid RNA polymerase (PEP). Standard PEP-dependent promoters resemble bacterial sigma-70-type promoters containing the so-called -10 and -35 elements. On the other hand, an unusual light- and stress-responsive promoter ( LRP) that is regulated by a 19-bp AAG-box immediately upstream of the -35 element has been mapped upstream of the operon in some angiosperms.
