| molecular diversity of cyanobacteria inhabiting coniform structures and surrounding mat in a yellowstone hot spring. | lithified coniform structures are common within cyanobacterial mats in yellowstone national park hot springs. it is unknown whether these structures and the mats from which they develop are inhabited by the same cyanobacterial populations. denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of 16s rdna was used to determine whether (1) three different morphological types of lithified coniform structures are inhabited by different cyanobacterial species, (2) these spe ... | 2005 | 15711172 |
