Devereux, Richard and Gary W. Mundfrom. 1994. Phylogenetic Tree of 16S rRNA Sequences from Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in a Sandy Marine Environment. EPA/600/J-94/436. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 60(9):3437-3439. (ERL,GB 878). (Avail. from NTIS, Springfield, VA: PB95-111829)
The divergence of 16S rDNA sequences in marine sediment was investigated. Twenty unique partial sequences were found among 33 cloned following PCR. Thirteen shared 82 to 91% similarity with sequences of delta subclass sulfate-reducing bacteria. Three contained the target sequence for a sulfate-reducing bacterium-specific oligonucleotide probe designed from pure-culture studies. |
