Computer identification system of microorganisms based on ssu rRNA sequences

本研究旨在建立简便的细菌和真菌鉴定方法。该小组由20名研究人员组成，他们的研究领域涵盖了大多数细菌和真菌的系统发育集群。每位成员收集有代表性的微生物菌株，对其SSU rrna进行测序，并明确其分类。东京大学yamasato博士对非硫光合细菌和黄杆菌-噬细胞复合体进行了研究，UT的oyaizu博士对变形细菌进行了研究，野田研究所的龟仓博士对嗜盐古细菌进行了研究，岐阜市大学的ezaki博士对厌氧革兰氏阳性球菌进行了研究，UT的清水博士和oowada博士对海洋变形细菌进行了研究，静冈大学的yamada博士对子囊菌真菌进行了研究，高川博士对硫氧化细菌进行了研究。农业部乳酸菌的mori博士、丝状放线菌发酵研究所的长谷川博士、非丝状放线菌发酵研究所的yokota博士、东北大学的hattori博士、高等真菌古代谱系的sugiyama博士、日本理化学研究所的nakase博士、日本理化学研究所的非丝状放线菌的铃木博士、利用氢细菌的igarashi博士。saito博士开发了一个方便的软件包来分析微生物的系统发育。该小组成员收集的庞大的SSU rRNA数据库将有助于细菌和真菌的快速鉴定。

This study aimed to establish the convenient identification method of bacteria and fungi. This group consists 20 researchers whose studying fields cover the most of phylogenetic clusters of bacteria and fungi. Each member collected representative microbial strains, sequenced their SSU rRNAs, and clarified their taxonomy. Dr.K.Yamasato of University of Tokyo studied on non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria and Flavobacterium-Cytophaga complex, Dr.H.Oyaizu of UT on the proteobacteria, Dr.M.Kamekura of Noda Institute on halophilic archaea, Dr.T.Ezaki of Gifu University on anaerobic Gram-positive cocci, Drs.U.Shimizu and K.Oowada of UT on marine proteobacteria, Dr.Y.Yamada of Shizuoka University on ascomycetes fungi, Dr.S.Takakuwa on sulfur oxidizing bacteria, Dr.K.Mori of Ministry of Agriculture on Lactic acid forming bacteria, Dr.T.Hasegawa of Institute for Fermentation on filamentous actinobacteria, Dr.A.Yokota of Institute for Fermentation on non-filamentous actinobacteria, Dr.T.Hattori of Tohoku University on oligotrophic bacteria, Dr.J.Sugiyama of UT on ancient lineage of higher fungi, Dr.T.Nakase of Riken Institute on yeasts, Dr.K.Suzuki of Riken Institute on non-filamentous actinobacteria, and Dr.Igarashi on hydrogen-utilizing bacteria. Dr.N.Saito developed a convenient software package to analyze phylogeny of microorganisms. The huge SSU rRNA data base which was collected by the members of this group will be useful for the rapid identification of bacteria and fungi.
