Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The three strains share identical 16S rRNA gene sequences and represent a novel lineage of methane-oxidizing bacteria within the alpha-subclass of the class Proteobacteria and are only moderately related to type II methanotrophs of the Methylocystis-Methylosinus group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential risks of gene amplification by PCR as determined by 16S rDNA analysis of a mixed-culture of strict barophilic bacteria.
TL;DR: The 16S rDNA genes of an apparently pure culture of a psychrophilic and strict barophilic bacterium (WHB 46) were studied by PCR-mediated amplification and cloning into phage M13 mp18 and it was found that culture WHB 46 is actually composed of two closely related species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Succession of bacterial community structure and diversity in a paddy soil oxygen gradient.
TL;DR: The bacterial community developed through successional stages, leading at the RNA level to almost stable community patterns within 21 days after flooding, which suggests that the community dynamics can be explained by the principles of r- and K-selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of the T‐RFLP technique to assess spatial and temporal changes in the bacterial community structure within an agricultural soil planted with transgenic and non‐transgenic potato plants
TL;DR: The T-RFLP technique, although a polymerase chain reaction-based method, proved to be a suitable technique for monitoring highly diverse soil microbial communities for changes over space and/or time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of temperature and fertilizer on activity and community structure of soil ammonia oxidizers.
TL;DR: Ammonium oxidizers are able to adapt to soil conditions by changes in the community structure if sufficient time (several weeks) is available, in particular as community shifts were also observed in the soil slurries, in which ammonium concentrations and pH were better controlled.
