Multiple nonidentical reductive-dehalogenase-homologous genes are common in Dehalococcoides
Article Abstract:
The degenerate primers are used to amplify and identify genes in the genomes of strain CBDB1 and strain FL2 that show high sequence similarity to known reductive dehalogenase genes and the reductive-dehalogenase-homologous (RDH) genes found in the genome of strain BAV1 is included in the analysis. The analysis shows that the presence of multiple nonidentical RDH genes is characteristic of Dehalococcoides strains.
