| diversity of kenyan soda lake alkaliphiles assessed by molecular methods. | dna was extracted from water and sediment samples taken from soda lakes of the kenyan-tanzanian rift valley. dna was also extracted from microbial enrichment cultures of sediment samples. 16s rrna genes were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction and microbial diversity was studied using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge) of 16s rdna amplicons. cloning and sequencing of single dgge bands showed that they usually contained mixed amplicons. several of the amplicon sequences had hig ... | 2004 | 15064991 |
