  • Title: Analysis of Frankia evolutionary radiation using glnII sequences.
    Author: Cournoyer B, Lavire C.
    Journal: FEMS Microbiol Lett; 1999 Aug 01; 177(1):29-34. PubMed ID: 10436920.
    Abstract:
    Using a glnII (encoding glutamine synthetase II) PCR selective screening, a Frankia ACN14a gene library clone was isolated. A derived glnII-hybridising 2.7-kb HindIII subclone was characterised. Identities of 95% and 93% were observed, respectively, with the corresponding Frankia CpI1 glnI and glnII regions. A variable segment of the glnII region was selected, PCR amplified from various Frankia genomes, sequenced, and used to investigate phylogenetic relationships within the genus. glnII phylogenetic inferences are well-resolved and allowed us to deduce evolutionary trends among Frankia. Frankia radiation seems to begin with a diversification according to the ability or not to infect actinorhizal plants. The infective strains are divided into two clusters matching plant-colonising specificities.
