摘要
An optimized technique of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Staircase Electrophoresis (SCE), was applied to determine the stable Low Molecular Weight RNA (LMW RNA) profiles of 25 Frankia strains from diverse geographic origins and host specificity groups as well as species from other actinomycete genera. Application of the technique permits the rapid identification of Frankia strains and their differentiation from other actinomycetes. The isolates used in this study were grouped in eight clusters, each comprising strains with identical LMW RNA profiles. Comparison of these results with others obtained from DNA sequences or DNA hybridization methods suggest a high degree of complexity in the genus Frankia. Application of SCE to profile LMW RNA should in the future facilitate biodiversity studies of Frankia and discrimination of new species.
