Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic identification and in situ detection of individual microbial cells without cultivation.
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of the retrieved rRNA sequence of an uncultured microorganism reveals its closest culturable relatives and may, together with information on the physicochemical conditions of its natural habitat, facilitate more directed cultivation attempts.
Journal ArticleDOI
ARB: a software environment for sequence data

TL;DR: The ARB program package comprises a variety of directly interacting software tools for sequence database maintenance and analysis which are controlled by a common graphical user interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
SILVA: a comprehensive online resource for quality checked and aligned ribosomal RNA sequence data compatible with ARB
Elmar Pruesse,Christian Quast,Katrin Knittel,Bernhard M. Fuchs,Wolfgang Ludwig,Jörg Peplies,Frank Oliver Glöckner +6 more
TL;DR: SILVA (from Latin silva, forest), was implemented to provide a central comprehensive web resource for up to date, quality controlled databases of aligned rRNA sequences from the Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic Oligodeoxynucleotide Probes for the Major Subclasses of Proteobacteria: Problems and Solutions
TL;DR: Based on comparative analyses of 16S and 23S ribosomal RNA sequences, sites specific for the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-subclasses of Proteobacteria are located and will be useful for determinative studies and for the in situ monitoring of population distribution and dynamics in microbial communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uniting the classification of cultured and uncultured bacteria and archaea using 16S rRNA gene sequences
Pablo Yarza,Pelin Yilmaz,Elmar Pruesse,Frank Oliver Glöckner,Wolfgang Ludwig,Karl-Heinz Schleifer,William B. Whitman,Jean Euzeby,Rudolf Amann,Ramon Rosselló-Móra +9 more
TL;DR: This article proposes rational taxonomic boundaries for high taxa of bacteria and archaea on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence identities and suggests a rationale for the circumscription of uncultured taxa that is compatible with the taxonomy of cultured bacteria and Archaea.
