Towards a taxonomic coherence between average nucleotide identity and 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity for species demarcation of prokaryotes. (2014, methodology): “Pairwise similarities between 16S rRNA gene sequences were calculated based on robust global sequence alignment algorithms as used in the EzTaxon server (Chun et al., 2007).”
Construction of an interactive online phytoplasma classification tool, iPhyClassifier, and its application in analysis of the peach X-disease phytoplasma group (16SrIII) (2009, background): “Such a combined search strategy aids identification of the query’s phylogenetically closest neighbour with a significantly reduced computing time (Chun et al., 2007).”
Screening of plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria isolated from sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) (2012, methodology): “DNA sequences (approximately 500 bp) were compared with sequences from EzTaxon Server version 2.1 (Chun et al. 2007; available on http://www. eztaxon.org/) and GenBank database using BLASTN software (Altschul et al. 1997; available on http://blast. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/).”
An improved Greengenes taxonomy with explicit ranks for ecological and evolutionary analyses of bacteria and archaea (2011, methodology): “This shortcoming has been addressed by several dedicated 16S databases, including the Ribosomal Database Project (Cole et al., 2009), Greengenes (DeSantis et al., 2006), SILVA (Pruesse et al., 2007) and EzTaxon (Chun et al., 2007), that classify a higher proportion of environmental sequences.”
Comparison of in vitro solubilization activity of diverse phosphate-solubilizing bacteria native to acid soil and their ability to promote Phaseolus vulgaris growth (2010, positive): “Nucleotide sequences were compared with the database, and pairwise sequence similarities were determined with the EzTaxon server ( Chun et al. 2007 ).”
Correlation between microbial community structure and biofouling in a laboratory scale membrane bioreactor with synthetic wastewater (2012, methodology): “The sequences of isolates were aligned manually against sequences obtained from pyrosequencing and EzTaxondatabase [19].”
Chimeric 16S rRNA sequence formation and detection in Sanger and 454-pyrosequenced PCR amplicons. (2011, neutral): “2007), and EZ-Taxon (Chun et al. 2007).”
De novo characterization of Lycoris sprengeri transcriptome using Illumina GA II (2011, positive): “, 1997) program against the database of type strains with validly published prokaryotic names at the EzTaxon server (http://www.eztaxon.org/; Chun et al., 2007).”
Probiotic effect of FLOC on Vibrios in the pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (2014, neutral): “1 platform (Chun et al., 2007) as the nearest matches to our sequences.”
Introducing EzTaxon-e: a prokaryotic 16S rRNA gene sequence database with phylotypes that represent uncultured species. (2012, methodology): “Similarities were determined using the algorithm of Myers & Miller (1988) as previously described (Chun et al., 2007).”
Diversity of endophytic actinomycetes in mandarin grown in northern Thailand, their phytohormone production potential and plant growth promoting activity (2013, methodology): “The 16S rRNA sequences of selected isolates (18 isolates) representing five genera are registered on the EzTaxon server (Chun et al. 2007).”
Bacterial endophytes in agricultural crops and their role in stress tolerance: a review (2015, methodology): “Direct amplification of microbial DNA from plant tissue samples and application of modern bioinformatics tools allow analysis of a bacterial community composition and its phylogenetic structure inside a variety of plant organs or tissues (Chun et al., 2007; Manter et al., 2010).”
