Molecular characterization of nocardioform actinomycetes in activated sludge by 16S rRNA analysis

Article Abstract:

Examination of the diversity of nocardioform actinomycetes and mycobacteria, which are present in the activated-sludge sample from a sewage treatment plant by a comparative 16S rRNA sequence analysis reveals significant diversity of bacteria from various taxa. Sequences of these bacteria are different from those of species in the databases. Database expansion can help successful identification of these organisms in the activated sludge.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization shows spatial distribution of as yet uncultured treponemes in biopsies from digital dermatitis lesions

Article Abstract:

In situ hybridization (ISH) is useful in detecting and identifying bacteria in their natural environments. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been used on sections of plastic-embedded tissue to visualize uncultured treponemes in skin biopsies of cows with digital dermatitis. Debris covering the ulcers had a mixture of different microorganisms, with a layering of treponemal phylotypes deeper in the epidermis.
