| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In general, many prokaryotic genes are amenable to be transferred between different species. Hence, phylogeny of prokaryotic species has been reduced by comparing each species' 16S rRNA sequence. The rationale for this is based on an assumption that the 16S rRNA gene is least unlikely to be transferred between species. This assumption called "complexity hypothesis" was experimentally tested in this study, by introducing 16S rRNA genes from metagenome into Escherichia coli.
