Phylogenetic heterogeneity of the genus Bacillus revealed by comparative analysis of small-subunit-ribosomal RNA sequences
Abstract
The small‐subunit rRNA sequences of 51 species of Bacillus were determined by reverse transcription to elucidate the phylogenetic structure of the genus. Comparative analysis of the sequence data revealed five phylogenetically distinct clusters. Group 1 (Bacillus sensu stricto) included B. subtilis the type species of the genus and 27 other species. Group 2 consisted of B. sphaericus and five other bacilli and Sporosarcina ureae clustered within the confines of this group. Group 3 consisted of a phylogenetically coherent group of 10 species whereas groups 4 and 5 comprised two and three species respectively. It is evident that the genus Bacillus in genetically extremely heterogeneous and requires extensive taxonomic revision. The rRNA structures defined in the present study will provide a firm basis for the division of Bacillus into several phylogenetically distinct genera.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
