The sequence of the 16S rRNA gene from Chlamydia psittaci was determined. Comparison of this sequence with other 16S rRNA sequences showed the organism to be eubacterial. The organism represents a hitherto unrecognized major eubacterial group. However, this group may be peripherally related to the planctomyces and relatives. Although these two groups seem to have very little in common phenotypically (they have been studied in very different ways), cell walls in both cases contain no peptidoglycan.
确定了鹦鹉热衣原体16S rRNA基因的序列。将该序列与其他16S rRNA序列进行比较,结果表明该生物体为真细菌。该生物体代表了一个迄今未被认识的主要真细菌类群。然而,这个类群可能与浮霉菌及其亲缘类群存在外围关系。尽管这两个类群在表型上似乎几乎没有共同之处(它们是以非常不同的方式进行研究的),但在这两种情况下,细胞壁都不含肽聚糖。
