RecA is a reliable marker for bacterial taxonomy, even in the Candidate Phyla Radiation

Lodovico Sterzi, Simona Panelli, Clara Bonaiti, Stella Papaleo, Giorgia Bettoni, E. C. D'Auria, Gianvincenzo Zuccotti, Francesco Comandatore

This study introduces RecA as a reliable genetic marker for bacterial taxonomy, showing it provides accurate taxonomic annotation comparable to multi-gene approaches, especially for the Candidate Phyla Radiation.
