What is the 16S rRNA sequence of actinobacteria

Expert Solution
Step 1

16S rRNA sequence (consist of only RNA ribonucleotides) of bacterias are conserved sequences(sequence does not change in any of the individual of that species) and hence they are used to identify the bacteria. So, determination of 16S rRNA sequence of a bacteria is very crucial, all species are known by their 16S rRNA sequence as its specific and characteristic to it.

 

To obtain the 16S rRNA sequence of any organism species, the data bases available freely on internet can be used e.g: NCBI database, it is the most commonly used legal database that has the information about all DNA and RNA sequences of all known organisms.

Actinobacteria is a phylum of Gram-positive bacteria that has many species of bacteria under it having their individual 16S rRNA sequences, so 16S rRNA sequence one species of Actinobacteria obtained from NCBI database is:
