Designatable Units for Status Assessment of Endangered Species (2005, background): “Mayden (1997) listed 22, and more (de Queiroz 1998; O.W. Johnson et al. 1999; Rosselló-Mora & Amann 2001; Wilkins 2003) have emerged since.”
Morphological Identification of Actinobacteria (2016, background): “But the characterization of a strain is a key element in actinobacteria systematics in any period and prokaryotic morphologies are consistent with their phylogenetic reconstructions [16, 17].”
DNA-DNA hybridization values and their relationship to whole-genome sequence similarities. (2007, background): “Several reviews (Rosselló-Mora, 2006; Rosselló-Mora & Amann, 2001; Stackebrandt & Goebel, 1994; Stackebrandt & Liesack, 1993) mention that DNA fragments must share at least 80 % identity in order to hybridize during DDH experiments.”
Genome-Based Taxonomic Classification of the Phylum Actinobacteria (2018, background): “, 1989) or even 5% (Rosselló-Mora and Amann, 2001) can be attributed to experimental error as within-species variation is at most 1% when G+C content is calculated from genome sequences (Meier-Kolthoff et al.”
Shifting the genomic gold standard for the prokaryotic species definition (2009, background): “From among the serious classifications, spanning nearly one century, taxonomists have obtained a sound system by circumscribing prokaryotes based on their phylogenetic, genomic, and phenotypic coherence (3, 4).”
Culture-independent molecular techniques for soil microbial ecology (2010, background): “…the definition of “species” in prokaryotes as classification based on 16S rRNA gene (16S ribotyping) sequences eludes differential functional attributes encoded by genomes although it is generally accepted as an appropriate taxonomic identifier (Rosselló-Mora and Amann, 2001; Prosser et al., 2007).”
The bacterial species definition in the genomic era (2006, methodology): “…the 70% DDH standard is pragmatic and universally applicable within the bacterial domain of life (Stackebrandt & Goebel 1994; Brenner et al. 2000; Rossello-Mora & Amann 2001), it has been criticized for being difficult to implement, e.g. cumbersome DDH experiments and inapplicable in…”
