a species is genetically defined (genomospecies) as the collection of strains with DNA-DNA

relationships that result from both hybridization values greater than or equal to 70 per cent et par
une valeur  T m(e) inférieure ou égale à 5 °C. per cent and a value  T m (e) less than or equal to 5

Il existe une relation linéaire entre les pourcentages d'homologie mesurés à la température
optimale de réassociation et les  T m(e) , du moins pour des valeurs d'hybridation supérieures à
30-33 p.
There is a linear relationship between the percentages of homology at the optimum temperature
measured reassociation and  T m (e), at least for values higher than 30-33 per hybridization cent.
percent. Il ya donc une redondance entre les pourcentages d'hybridation et les valeurs des  T m(e)
si bien que ces dernières ne sont généralement plus mesurées.

So there is a redundancy between the percentages of hybridization and the values of  T m (e) so
that they are generally more cautious. Rappelons également que les techniques "modernes"
d'hybridation ADN-ADN ne permettent pas de calculer les  T m(e) .

Remember also that the techniques "modern" DNA-DNA hybridization can not calculate  T m (e).

Leptospira interrogans and Leptospira biflexa were in fact simple nomenspecies ie taxa defined
for practical purposes on the basis of some special characters
