High-GC content bacteria

High-GC content bacteria

High-GC content bacteria are Gram-positive bacteria with a high number of guanine and cytosine bases as compared to adenine and thymine. These bacteria are of the class Actinobacteria [NCBI Taxonomy browser, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Undef&id=201174&lvl=3&lin=f&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock, accessed 3/13/07.] .
