Complete small‐subunit rRNA (SSU‐rRNA) coding region sequences were determined for two species of the intestinal parasiteGiardia: G. ardeaeandG. muris, both belonging to the order Diplomonadida, and a free‐living member of this order,Hexamita sp.These sequences were compared to published SSU‐rDNA sequences from a third member of the genusGiardia, G. duodenalis(often calledG. intestinalisorG. lamblia) and various representative organisms from other taxa. Of the threeGiardiasequences analyzed, the SSU‐rRNA fromG. murisis the smallest (1432 bases as compared to 1435 and 1453 forG. ardeaeandG. duodenalis, respectively) and has the lowest G + C content (58.9%). TheHexamitaSSU‐rRNA is the largest in this group, containing 1550 bases. Because the sizes of the SSU‐rRNA are prokaryotic rather than typically eukaryotic, the secondary structures of the SSU‐rRNAs were constructed. These structures show a number of typically eukaryotic signature sequences. Sequence alignments based on constraints imposed by secondary structure were used for construction of a phylogenetic tree for these four taxa. The results show that of the four diplomonads represented, theGiardiaspecies form a distinct group. The other diplomonadHexamitaand the microsporidiumVairimorpha necatrixappear to be distinct fromGiardia.—van Keulen, H., Gutell, R. R., Gates, M. A., Campbell, S. R., Erlandsen, S. L., Jarroll, E.
