TLDR
Fluorescent oligonucleotide hybridization probes were used to label bacterial cells for analysis by flow cytometry and the intensity of fluorescence was increased additively by the combined use of two or three fluorescent probes complementary to different regions of the same 16S rRNA.Abstract:
Fluorescent oligonucleotide hybridization probes were used to label bacterial cells for analysis by flow cytometry. The probes, complementary to short sequence elements within the 16S rRNA common to phylogenetically coherent assemblages of microorganisms, were labeled with tetramethylrhodamine and hybridized to suspensions of fixed cells. Flow cytometry was used to resolve individual target and nontarget bacteria (1 to 5 microns) via probe-conferred fluorescence. Target cells were quantified in an excess of nontarget cells. The intensity of fluorescence was increased additively by the combined use of two or three fluorescent probes complementary to different regions of the same 16S rRNA. Imagesread more

Profiling of complex microbial populations by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified genes coding for 16S rRNA
TL;DR: Analysis of the genomic DNA from a bacterial biofilm grown under aerobic conditions suggests that sulfate-reducing bacteria, despite their anaerobicity, were present in this environment.

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.

TL;DR: A microarray is designed to detect and quantitate the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene sequences of most currently recognized species and taxonomic groups of bacteria and suggested that incidental environmental exposures play a major role in determining the distinctive characteristics of the microbial community in each baby.

TL;DR: A key role is revealed for Bacteroidales in the immunostimulatory effects of CTLA-4 blockade, which is found to depend on distinct Bacteroides species in mice and patients.

TL;DR: Polycarbonate Nuclepore filters are better than cellulose filters for the direct counting of bacteria because they have uniform pore size and a flat surface that retains all of the bacteria on top of the filter.

Complete nucleotide sequence of a 16S ribosomal RNA gene from Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: The complete nucleotide sequence of the 16S RNA gene from the rrnB cistron of Escherichia coli has been determined by using three rapid DNA sequencing methods, and discrepancies may be explained by heterogeneity among 16S rRNA sequences from different cistrons.
