Abstract
The sequence of the coding region of the rRNA operon of rat-derived Pneumocystis carinii has been completed, including the genes for 5.8S and 26S rRNA. These genes show homology to the rRNA genes of yeast, and an apparent group I self-splicing intron is present in the 26S rRNA gene. Like a similar intron in the 16S rRNA gene, this intron is in a phylogenetically conserved region. Variation in the 26S rRNA sequence was noted between P. carinii organisms isolated from two different sources.Entities:
