Abstract
The DNAs of seven bacterial strains belonging to Pedomicrobium ferrugineum and P. manganicum were investigated by buoyant density centrifugation and thermal denaturation experiments. The DNA base composition was calculated to range from 66.3 to 67.3% GC in CsCl gradients and from 64.8 to 65.7% GC in thermal transition profiles. The correlation of both methods was Tmo.issc = 428.5 (ϱ — 1.533) under our experimental conditions. Analysis of the DNA nucleotide distributions revealed a homogeneous group characterized by Gaussian distribution with a mean width of 9.19 ± 0.14% GC (uncorrected) and an average degree of asymmetry of 1.16 ± 0.04.
