Archaea Flashcards
1
Q
Habitats of Archea
A
very extreme environment
2
Q
The polyphasic approach to taxonomy uses these methods
A
- Phylogenetic analysis
- Phenotypic analysis (motility,capsule,virulence)
- Genotypic analysis (presence-absence of specific genes)
3
Q
what’s the method of MLST
A
- several housekeeping genes from a species are sequenced
- aligned to the respective sequences of other individuals of the same specie
4
Q
MLST has sufficient resolving power to distinguish?
A
btw very closely related strains
5
Q
ho does MLST works?
A
1-isolate DNA 2-Amplify 6-7 3- Sequence 4-Allele analysis 5-Compare with other strains and generate tree
