Abstract EN
The extremely radioresistant bacteria of the genus Deinococcus and the extremely thermophilic bacteria of the genus Thermus belong to a common taxonomic group.
Considering the distinct living environments of Deinococcus and Thermus, different genes would have been acquired through horizontal gene transfer after their divergence from a common ancestor.
Their guanine-cytosine (GC) contents are similar; however, we hypothesized that their genomic signatures would be different.
Our findings indicated that the genomes of Deinococcus radiodurans and Thermus thermophilus have different tetranucleotide frequencies.
This analysis showed that the genome signature of D.
radiodurans is most similar to that of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, whereas the genome signature of T.
thermophilus is most similar to that of Thermanaerovibrio acidaminovorans.
This difference in genome signatures may be related to the different evolutionary backgrounds of the 2 genera after their divergence from a common ancestor.
