Abstract
Summary 16S rRNA gene (rDNA) sequences from Acetobacter europaeus, Acetobacter xylinum, Acetobacter hansenii, Acetobacter liquefaciens, Acetobacter diazotrophicus, Acetobacter aceti, Acetobacter pasteurianus and Gluconobacter oxydans were determined. Phylogenetic trees were constructed that reflected the distant and close relationships. All investigated species had unique 16S rDNA sequences by demonstrated high sequence similarities (99.6 to 94.2%, corresponding to 7 to 83 base differences). Therefore, the studied species are closely related and represent together with other acidophilic bacteria ( Rhodopila globiformis and the Acidiphilium species) a distinct line of descent within the a-subclass of Proteobacteria .
