Combined use of 16S ribosomal DNA and 16S rRNA to study the bacterial community of polychlorinated biphenyl-polluted soil

Article Abstract:

Most soil bacteria are adequately represented in clone libraries prepared from either rRNA or rDNA. These libraries are used to identify bacteria using PCR rather than traditional culture methods.

Microbial community composition of Wadden Sea sediments as revealed by fluorescence in situ hybridization

Article Abstract:

The study investigated the composition and vertical distribution of the microbial community found in the sediments of the Wadden Sea of the German North Sea coast. In situ hybridization with fluorescently-labeled ribosomal RNA-targeted oligonucleotides was used to identify and quantify individual cells. Total cell counts indicate that cells were more concentrated along the beach and mud cores, which decreased with increased depth. Domain-specific probing revealed that bacteria made up most of the microbial community and that Cytophaga-Flavobacterium were the most abundant.
