16S rRNA gene-based oligonucleotide microarray for environmental monitoring of the betaproteobacterial order 'Rhodocyclales'

Article Abstract:

A 16S rRNA gene-targeted oligonucleotide microarray (RHC-PhyloChip) consisting of 79 probes is developed and applied for the parallel detection of all bacteria of the order 'Rhodocyclales' at different hierarchical or identical phylogenetic levels. The microarray results demonstrated the suitability of the RHC-PhyloChip as a novel monitoring tool for environmental microbiology.

Filamentous "Epsilonproteobacteria" dominate microbial mats from sulfidic cave springs

Article Abstract:

The authors have investigated bacterial communities from filamentous microbial mats from sulfidic cave springs. They have identified distinct epsilonproteobacterial filament groups within the microbial mats in the cave via the use of the full-cycle rRNA approach including quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Discovery of the novel candidate phylum "Poribacteria" in marine sponges

Article Abstract:

The presence, of an unrecognized evolutionary lineage found in the domain bacteria which is related to planctomycetes, is discovered. A report on the Planctomycetes is also given.
