title: Classification of the genus Mobiluncus based on comparative partial 16S rRNA gene analysis.
abstract: On the basis of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences and the results of Southern blot analyses, we confirmed the division of the genus Mobiluncus into the species Mobiluncus curtisii and Mobiluncus mulieris. Division of M. curtisii into M. curtisii subsp. curtisii and M. curtisii subsp. holmesii was not supported by our data.
