Phylogenetic Analysis and Assessment of the Genera Vibrio, Photobacterium, Aeromonas, and Plesiomonas Deduced from Small-Subunit rRNA Sequences

…, V Breittmayer, P Elbaze, B Lafay… - … of Systematic and …, 1994 - microbiologyresearch.org
We sequenced nearly complete small-subunit rRNAs of 54 reference strains belonging to
the genera Vibrio, Photobacterium, Aeromonas, and Plesiomonas. We then performed a …

Sequence heterogeneities among 16S ribosomal RNA sequences, and their effect on phylogenetic analyses at the species level.

V Cilia, B Lafay, R Christen - Molecular biology and evolution, 1996 - academic.oup.com
We have analyzed what phylogenetic signal can be derived by small subunit rRNA
comparison for bacteria of different but closely related genera (enterobacteria) and for different …

Ophiuroid phylogeny and higher taxonomy: morphological, molecular and palaeontological perspectives

AB Smith, GLJ Paterson, B Lafay - Zoological Journal of the Linnean …, 1995 - Elsevier
A cladistic analysis of the class Ophiuroidea at subfamily level is presented based on a
morphological data base of 43 characters. The tree is rooted using the best known fossil member …

Small-Subunit rRNA Sequences and Whole DNA Relatedness Concur for the Reassignment of Pasteurella piscicida (Snieszko et al.) Janssen and Surgalla to the Genus Photobacterium …

G Gauthier, B Lafay, R Ruimy, V Breittmayer… - 1995 - microbiologyresearch.org
The taxonomic status of Pasteurella piscicida (strain NCIMB 2058 T [T = type strain] and a
strain isolated from the environment) was investigated by performing phylogenetic analyses of …

Roseobacter algicola sp. nov., a New Marine Bacterium Isolated from the Phycosphere of the Toxin-Producing Dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima

B Lafay, R Ruimy… - … of Systematic and …, 1995 - microbiologyresearch.org
We describe a new species on the basis of phenotypic characteristics and the results of an
analysis of small-subunit rRNA sequences. Three strains of this organism were isolated from …

Molecular diversity of rhizobia occurring on native shrubby legumes in southeastern Australia

B Lafay, JJ Burdon - Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1998 - Am Soc Microbiol
The structure of rhizobial communities nodulating native shrubby legumes in open eucalypt
forest of southeastern Australia was investigated by a molecular approach. Twenty-one …

Proteome composition and codon usage in spirochaetes: species-specific and DNA strand-specific mutational biases

B Lafay, PM Sharp, AT Lloyd, MJ McLean… - Nucleic acids …, 1999 - academic.oup.com
The genomes of the spirochaetes Borrelia burgdorferi and Treponema pallidum show strong
strand-specific skews in nucleotide composition, with the leading strand in replication being …

Small-Subunit rRNA Genotyping of Rhizobia Nodulating Australian Acacia spp

B Lafay, JJ Burdon - Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2001 - Am Soc Microbiol
