Recently, with the advent of molecular phylogeny, several genes are used to identify species, the most important of which is the 16S rRNA gene, followed by 23S, ITS region, gyrB and others to confirm a better resolution.
Recentemente, co advimento da filoxenia molecular, utilízanse diversos xenes para identificar as especies, o máis importante dos cales é o xene do ARNr de 16 S, seguido do de 23 S, a rexión ITS, o gyrB e outros para confirmar unha mellor resolución.
