Phenotypic and genetic data supporting reclassification of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens isolates

Folia Microbiol (Praha). 2001;46(1):45-8. doi: 10.1007/BF02825883.

Abstract

Among 55 Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens strains five ribotypes of B. fibrisolvens were described on the basis of RFLP profiles of 16S rDNA regions obtained with restriction endonuclease HaeIII. In the phylogenetic tree, these ribotypes were located in the XIVa cluster of Gram-positive bacteria. Phenotypic differences of selected ribotype groups became the basis for further reclassification of B. fibrisolvens.
