Anaerobic fungi (phylum Neocallimastigomycota) are common inhabitants of the digestive
tract of mammalian herbivores, and in the rumen, can account for up to 20% of the microbial …

The discipline taxonomy (the science of naming and classifying organisms, the original
bioinformatics and a basis for all biology) is fundamentally important in ensuring the quality …

The internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of the nuclear ribosomal repeat unit is one of the
most commonly applied phylogenetic markers. It is a fast evolving locus, which makes it …

Biotic interactions do not occur in isolation but are imbedded in a network of species
interactions. Network analysis facilitates the compilation and understanding of the …

The internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) is a widely used phylogenetic marker. In the past, it
has mainly been used for species level classifications. Nowadays, a wider applicability …

This paper describes the characteristics of microalgal strains that originated out of an
isolation and screening project included within the National Alliance for Advanced Biofuels …

The information that can be obtained from the secondary structure of the nuclear ribosomal
internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) is substantial, and yet many studies exploit this …

The epiphytic bacterial communities colonising roots and leaves have been described for
many plant species. In contrast, microbiologists have rarely considered flowers of naturally …

The development of DNA barcodes for green algae would aid in their accurate and rapid
identification. This is particularly important for the green algae because in many species …

Background In several studies, secondary structures of ribosomal genes have been used to
improve the quality of phylogenetic reconstructions. An extensive evaluation of the benefits …
