Title: Phylogenetic Relationships of Thiothrix spp. from Two Distinct Biofilm Ecosystems

Journal Article · · Applied and Environmental Microbiology
OSTI ID:762021

Molecular procedures were used to investigate the relationship of 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. Analyzed biofilm samples from each site contained one clone that was 99 to 99.5 percent similar to Thiothrix unzii. This finding may be explained by the similarity of the groundwater supplying the two systems.
