Title: Identification of Thiothrix unzii in Two Distinct Ecosystems

Journal Article · · Letters of Applied Microbiology
OSTI ID:783026

Molecular procedures were used to identify Thiothrix spp. in biofilms from sulfide-rich waters in two distinct Florida ecosystems. These Thiothrix spp.-containing biofilms at these sites have been consistently observed for over 10 years. Clonal libraries of biofilm 16S rDNA from each site contained rDNA sequences that were 99 to 99.5 percent similar to Thiothrix unzii.
