| phylogenetic and metabolic diversity of planctomycetes from anaerobic, sulfide- and sulfur-rich zodletone spring, oklahoma. | we investigated the phylogenetic diversity and metabolic capabilities of members of the phylum planctomycetes in the anaerobic, sulfide-saturated sediments of a mesophilic spring (zodletone spring) in southwestern oklahoma. culture-independent analyses of 16s rrna gene sequences generated using planctomycetes-biased primer pairs suggested that an extremely diverse community of planctomycetes is present at the spring. although sequences that are phylogenetically affiliated with cultured heterotro ... | 2007 | 17545322 |
