Limitations of the widely used GAM42a and BET42a probes targeting bacteria in the Gammaproteobacteria radiation
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on probing inconsistencies with Competibacter including dificulties associated with the PGS probe application for organisms without cultured representatives. The authors reveal that these inconsistencies are caused by polymorphism within the probe-binding site in rRNA helix.

Adhesins encoded by the gingipain genes of Porphyromonas gingivalis are responsible for co-aggregation with Prevotella intermedia
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on bacterial cell co-aggregation which is caused by adhesion of one bacterium to another one. Results demonstrate that this co-aggregation between bacterial species is caused by cloned DNA region encoding one of the adhesim domains within rgpA and kgp.
