Abstract
The 5S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (5S rRNA) isolated from Desulfovibrio vulgaris MK was sequenced by three different methods. A comparison of D. vulgaris 5S rRNA and 5S rRNAs from other microorganisms in terms of the primary and secondary structures showed that D. vulgaris 5S rRNA possessed higher homology with Bacillus 5S rRNAs than with other prokaryotic 5S rRNAs examined. This suggests that D. vulgaris is phylogenically related to gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus species.
