| design of sphingomonad-detecting probes for a dna array, and its application to investigate the behavior, distribution, and source of rhizospherous sphingomonas and other sphingomonads inhabiting an acid sulfate soil paddock in kalimantan, indonesia. | throughout central and south kalimantan, indonesia, strongly acidic soil (ph 2.1-3.7) is widely distributed, and the local acidic soil-tolerant plants, including local rice varieties, often possess sphingomonads in their rhizosphere and rhizoplane. to investigate the behavior of sphingomonads inhabiting the rhizosphere of such acid-tolerant plants, we designed 13 different dna array probes (each of 72 mer) specific to a group of sphingomonads, using a hypervariable v6 region of the 16s rrna gene ... | 2007 | 17284854 |
