16S rRNA sequences and differences in bacteria isolated from the Muztag Ata glacier at increasing depths

Article Abstract:

A study is undertaken to determine the main bacteria isolated from the ice samples from Muztag Ata Mountain glacier, identify the isolates and present their characteristics such as their growth temperatures and phylogenetic relatedness to each other to known microbes. Results revealed that the membership of the bacterial population that is recovered changes at different depths within the Muztag Ata glacier.

Introducing DOTUR, a computer program for defining operational taxonomic units and estimating species richness

Article Abstract:

A method has been developed to address the challenge of assigning sequences to operational taxonomic units (OTUs) based on the genetic distances between sequences. A computer program's, DOTUR, dexterity is demonstrated by analyzing and comparing 16S rRNA gene libraries constructed from soil and seawater, which have already been studied with other methods.

Selective phylogenetic analysis targeted at 16S rRNA genes of thermophiles and hyperthermophiles in deep-subsurface geothermal environments

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the efficient removal of 16S rRNA gene fragments from a mixture of 16S rRNA genes derived from a microbial community of mesophiles and thermophiles. It was observed that the 16S rRNA gene sequences from the river water were almost completely eliminated, whereas those from the hot spring fluid remained.
