A broad-host-range, generalized transducing phage (SN-T) acquires 16S rRNA genes from different genera of bacteria

Article Abstract:

The broad-host-range, generalized transducing phage SN-T can acquire 16S rRNA gene sequences from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Sphaerotilus natans. The frequency of 16S rRNA gene acquisition by this phage is determined and the results have implicated the transduction in the horizontal transfer of 16S rRNA genes between different species or genera of bacteria.

Comparison of Bacteroides-Prevotella 16S rRNA genetic makers for fecal samples from different animal species

Article Abstract:

The use of the anaerobic bacterial group Bacteroides-Prevotella as a potential indicator was evaluated. The results indicate that the approach of identifying Bacteroides-Prevotella molecular markers associated with the host species is useful in identifying sources of fecal contamination in the environment.

Anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and related activity in Baltimore inner harbor sediment

Article Abstract:

Anammox activity in sediment samples obtained from the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, Md, is detected by (super 15)N tracer assays. The presence of these bacteria and their activity in sediment strengthen the contention that anmmox-related Plactomycetales are globally distributed.
