Application of a newly developed ARB software-integrated tool for in silico terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis reveals the dominance of a novel pmoA cluster in a forest soil
Article Abstract:
An ARB-implemented tool, TRF-CUT, is developed to predict in silico the terminal restriction fragments of aligned small-subunit rRNA gene or functional gene sequences. This new tool is used to perform directed terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of pmoA products obtained from a forest soil and it has revealed that a novel cluster I methanotrophic bacteria is dominant.

A marine Mesorhizobium sp. produces structurally novel long-chain N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones
Article Abstract:
The analysis focuses on a Mesorhizobium sp. that is highly affected by 16S rRNA gene sequence and produces structurally novel long-chain N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones. The quorum-sensing activities of these lactones are easily modulated by the chain length and the functional groups of the acyl moiety.
