Prevalence of bacteria of division TM7 in human subgingival plaque and their association with disease
Article Abstract:
Analysis of human subgingival plaque samples shows that the abundance of the uncultivated bacterial division TM7 rDNA relative to total bacterial rDNA is higher at sites of periodontitis than either healthy or severe periodontitis sites. The 1025 phylotype is seen in 38 out of 58 disease samples, suggesting an association between TM7 and periodontitis disease.

Single-cell enumeration of an uncultivated TM7 subgroup in the human subgingival crevice
Article Abstract:
Results show that most of the human subgingival samples from chronic periodontitis sites contain TM7 subgroup 1025 bacteria as compared to smples from healthy sites. Data indicate that 1025 cells from the former sites are fourfold longer than those from the latter sites.

Detection of the free-living forms of sulfide-oxidizing gill endosymbionts in the lucinid habitat (Thalassia testudinum environment)
Article Abstract:
Results reveal that the sulfide-oxidizing gill endosymbiont of Codakia orbiscularis exists as a free-living uncultivable form in the sea-grass sediment as shown by target DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction.
