The ancestral form of the pygmy hippopotamus may be the genus Saotherium.
Survival of foodborne pathogens in cultures or in animal GI tracts may be very genus- or species-specific.
This high rate may be a genus-wide phenomenon [ 10].
Because this genus is acid fast by the Ziehl-Neelsen method, laboratory workers and clinicians must be aware that AFB seen in pulmonary specimens from cystic fibrosis patients are not necessarily from the genus Mycobacterium and may be from the genus Segniliparus.
"We're alarmed that we may be losing the genus that has more potential medicines than any other in nature," said Dr. Eric Chivian, an author of the letter and director of the Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard Medical School.
Similarly, Currie uses the high tooth count of Nanotyrannus to suggest that it may be a distinct genus, rather than a juvenile Tyrannosaurus as most other experts believe.
Most modern scientists consider these genera to be junior synonyms of Paraceratherium, and that it contains four discernible species; P. bugtiense (the type species), P. transouralicum, P. prohorovi, and P. orgosensis, although the last may be a distinct genus.
This finding gives some support to the notion that B. torquatus may be a different genus, as already suggested on the basis of morphological and molecular analyses [ 50, 51].
Although strand specific mutation biases observed in virus species from the geminivirus genus Mastrevirus indicate that the high mutation rates in viruses in this genus may be due to mutational processes that operate specifically on ssDNA, it is currently unknown whether viruses from other genera display similar strand specific mutation biases.
Most members of the family are classified in Tectaria (also known as the halberd ferns; 150 or more species), but this morphologically variable genus may be separated into four or more smaller units that display greater homogeneity.
These data suggest that B. ostreae may be included in the genus Haplosporidium.
