The nucleotide sequences of the 5S ribosomal RNAs of the bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Alcaligenes faecalis, Pseudomonas cepacia, Aquaspirillum serpens and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus have been determined. The sequences fit in a generally accepted model for 5S RNA secondary structure. However, a closer comparative examination of these and other bacterial 5S RNA primary structures reveals the potential of additional base pairing and of multiple equilibria between a set of slightly different alternative secondary structures in one area of the molecule. The phylogenetic position of the examined bacteria is derived from a 5S RNA sequence alignment by a clustering method and compared with the position derived on the basis of 16S ribosomal RNA oligonucleotide catalogs.
