Distribution of bacterioplankton in meromictic Lake Saelenvannet, as determined by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of PCR-amplified gene fragments coding for 16S rRNA.
The community structure of bacterioplankton in meromictic Lake Saelenvannet was examined by PCR amplification of the V3 region of 16S rRNA from microbial communities recovered from various depths in… Expand

High diversity in DNA of soil bacteria.
Soil bacterium DNA was isolated by minor modifications of previously described methods. After purification on hydroxyapatite and precipitation with cetylpyridinium bromide, the DNA was sheared in a… Expand

Microbial diversity and function in soil: from genes to ecosystems.
Soils sustain an immense diversity of microbes, which, to a large extent, remains unexplored. A range of novel methods, most of which are based on rRNA and rDNA analyses, have uncovered part of the… Expand

Comparison of phenotypic diversity and DNA heterogeneity in a population of soil bacteria.
The phenotypic diversity of about 200 bacterial strains isolated from soil was compared with the genotypic diversity of the same population. The strains were phenotypically characterized by the API… Expand
