✦ Synopsis
From an alder (Alnus incana) genomic library, we have isolated a clone containing the entire chloroplast rRNA operon. Restriction fragments spanning the 23S rRNA gene were subcloned into M 13mp 19, deletions were prepared [ 1 ] and both strands were sequenced [ 3]. The complete nucleotide sequence (2811 bp) is shown in Fig. 1.
The 23 S coding region has a G + C content of 55~o and shows 98.3~o homology to the corresponding gene from Nicotiana tabacum [ 5 ], also a member of the subclass Magnoliopsida (dicots), and 95.3~ homology to the 23S rRNA gene of Zea mays [2] a member of the subclass Liliopsida (monocots). A 68 bp sequence thought to be specific to monocots [4] is absent from the alder sequence.

From a rRNA repeating unit of Sinapis alba (Brassicaceae) we have sequenced the 5.8S gene, the internal transcribed spacers [4] and the intergenic spacer with the 18S rRNA coding region [5]. Here we present the nucleotide sequence (3381 bp) of the 25S rRNA gene and thus complete the primary structur
## Abstract Cloning, sequencing and characterization of nearly full‐length 23S rRNA genes in 12 urease‐positive thermophilic __Campylobacter__ (UPTC) isolates were carried out using two novel PCR primer pairs. Nucleotide sequences of the 23S rRNA genes from the 12 isolates were first shown not to c
