| distribution and culturability of the uncultivated 'agg58 cluster' of the bacteroidetes phylum in aquatic environments. | members of the bacteroidetes phylum are abundant in aquatic habitats when assessed by fluorescent in situ hybridisation and in some 16s rrna gene libraries. in this study 16s rrna gene clone libraries were constructed with bacterial primers that amplify bacteroidetes sequences well (27f, 1492r) from coastal seawater near plymouth (uk) during a phytoplankton bloom. most of the clones (66%, 106/160) affiliated with the bacteroidetes phylum, and of these 62% (66/106; or 41% 66/160 of the entire lib ... | 2004 | 19712324 |
