| estimation of the abundance of an uncultured soil bacterial strain by a competitive quantitative pcr method. | strain ea25 was identified in a clone library of bacterial 16s rrna gene sequences that had been amplified from dna extracted from soil collected in eastern washington state. ea25 was subsequently shown to be related to members of the genera planctomyces and chlamydia and most closely related (93% similarity) to strain mc18, a strain identified in an australian soil sample (w. liesack and e. stackebrandt, j. bacteriol. 174:5072-5078, 1992). a competitive quantitative pcr method developed by zach ... | 1996 | 8837435 |
