Ribosomal (r) RNA interoperon sequence heterogeneity in the 'Fragaria multicipita' phytoplasma, a member of group 16SrVI, was initially observed in RFLP patterns of rDNA amplified in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and was confirmed through sequence analysis of cloned rDNA. Sequences from operons rrnA and rrnB were amplified in PCR primed by primer pair P1/P7 but from only rrnA in PCR primed by primer pair R16mF2/R16mR1. Preferential amplification of DNA from operon rrnA was explained by base mismatches between the R161-nF2/R16mR1 primers and primer annealing sites in rrnB. The results revealed potential for classification of a phytoplasma into two different subgroups within a 16S rRNA Group, if the phytoplasma's 16S rRNA gene sequences are independently characterized. It is suggested that the rRNA operon containing species-specific signature sequence(s) should be specified, and where possible sequences from both 16S rRNA genes should be included, in descriptions of new 'Candidatus Phytoplasma species'.
