| bacterial diversity in water samples from uranium wastes as demonstrated by 16s rdna and ribosomal intergenic spacer amplification retrievals. | bacterial diversity was assessed in water samples collected from several uranium mining wastes in ger many and in the united states by using 16s rdna and ribosomal intergenic spacer amplification retrievals. the results obtained using the 16s rdna retrieval showed that the samples collected from the uranium mill tailings of schlema/alberoda, germany, were predominated by nitrospina-like bacteria, whereas those from the mill tailings of shiprock, new mexico, usa, were predominated by gamma-pseudo ... | 2005 | 16333330 |
