| bacterial diversity in adirondack mountain lakes as revealed by 16s rrna gene sequences. | bacterial communities of seven lakes in the adirondack mountains of new york state were characterized by amplification and sequencing of 16s ribosomal dna. analysis of over 100 partial sequences revealed a diverse collection of lineages, largely of the class proteobacteria (19% alpha subdivision, 31% beta subdivision, and 9% gamma subdivision), the phylum cytophaga-flavobacteria-bacteroides (15%), and the order actinomycetales (18%). additionally, a number of the sequences were similar to those ... | 1997 | 9212443 |
