Interspecific genetic homology in the actinomycetes Bradley, S. G.,, 15, 239-242 (1965), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-15-4-239, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= SUMMARY It is proposed that similarity between genetic determinants is the most appropriate criterion for setting up a microbial classification. Genetic homology between organisms can be discovered by biological tests for hybridization, or by physicohemical tests for renaturation between single-stranded DNA's of diverse origin., language=, type=
