By analyzing genetic similarity of rhodococci actinobacteria seven phylogenetic groups are allocated on the base on alkane-1-monooxygenases sequences. R. qingshengii F2-2 genome have been shown to have alkane-1-monooxygenase genes affiliated to five different types. We assume the use of alkane-1-monooxygenase genes diversity as a molecular marker to identify Rhodococcus species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
