But Why Make Phylogenetic Tree for Bacterial 16S rRNA Gene? How do Type Strains Help Build Them? 

Hi,
I am Dr. Dweipayan Goswami,
Welcome to my RU-vid channel "Learn at ease"
Phylogenetic trees are a powerful tool for understanding the evolutionary relationships between different organisms. They can be used to study bacteria in a number of ways, such as identifying new species, tracking the spread of bacteria, and studying the evolution of bacteria.
In this video, we will discuss the importance of making phylogenetic trees for bacterial 16s rRNA genes. We will also discuss why type strains' 16s rRNA gene sequences are used as references to construct phylogenetic trees.
Enjoy!
