![]() These observations are consistent with the need to review and revise the taxonomy of these organisms. The fundamental principle involved in the analysis technique of 16S rRNA is in obtaining the sequence information of 16S rRNA from. Thus, by 16S rDNA sequence analysis, the BALO appear to have multiple origins, contrary to the unified taxonomic grouping based on morphology and natural history. One freshwater isolate, James Island, was distinct from all other BALO (> 19%), but differed from Pseudomonas putida, a member of the gamma-Proteobacteria, by only 3%. However, both the Bdellovibrio and Bacteriovorax clades were closest to other representatives of the delta-Proteobacteria using maximum-likelihood. For bacterial identification, 16S rDNA sequencing is particularly important in the case of bacteria with unusual phenotypic profiles, rare bacteria, slow. The difference between isolates in different clades is over 17%, a quantity similar to differences between bacterial species in different classes. This observation implies that the salt-water isolates arose from Bacteriovorax progenitors. The salt-water isolates form a subgroup (83% by bootstrap) and differ within the subgroup by less than 110%. The other group, supported 94% by bootstrap analysis, includes Bacteriovorax starrii, Bacteriovorax stolpii and the salt-water isolates. The genetic distance between these isolates was less than 12%. Each member of this group was isolated from either a freshwater or terrestrial source. ![]() One group, supported 100% by bootstrap analysis, included all of the Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus isolates. 16S rDNA Sequencing analysis in identification of some multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial isolates from clinical specimens. When the 16S rDNA sequences were compared with representatives of other bacterial classes, 25 of the 26 BALO isolates clustered into two groups. The goal of this sequencing is to detect the sequence variation and abundance of the 16S target region of environmental samples. Elsewhere, the usefulness of 16S rDNA sequencing was compromised by the presence of 16S rDNA sequences with >1 undetermined positions in the databases. Primers that selectively amplify predator 16S rDNA, and not contaminating prey DNA, were utilized to study 17 freshwater and terrestrial and nine salt-water BALO isolates. The 16S rDNA approach failed to identify Enterobacter and Pantoea isolates to the species level (P 0.04 odds ratio 0.32 95 confidence interval, 0.10 to 1.14). The genetic diversity of these microbes was assessed by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene. Historically, these organisms have been classified together despite documented genetic differences between isolates. 13 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the PCR-amplified 16S. The results from this study showed that 16S rDNA sequence analysis is a more reliable tool for classifying WDS bacteria than FAME analysis.Bdellovibrio-and-like organisms (BALO) are Gram-negative, predatory bacteria that inhabit terrestrial, freshwater and salt-water environments. This was in agreement with danaturing gradient gel elecrophoresis anlaysis of the V3 variable region of 167S rDNA gene, that showed notable differences between the microbial community structure of biofilm samples and feed water. The natural abundance of these bacterial groups is unknown, however, the relative frequency of each of the proteobacterial groups was different for each sample examined. and Phenylobacterium sp., while the beta proteobacterial strins were closely related to Dechlorimonas sp., Rhodopcyclus sp., and Rhodoferas sp., Aquaspirillum sp., Hydrogenophaga sp., and Azoarcus sp. ![]() The sequences for the alpha proteobacterial strains were similar to sequences of Erythrobacter sp., Porphyrobacter sp., Sphingomonas sp. Two isolates belonged to the gamma Proteobacteria while the vast majority of the isolates were identified as alpha and beta proteobacteria. Four isolates were identified as Gram positive bacteria closely related to Amycolatopsis, Nocardia, and Mycobacterium subgroups. A minimum of 600 bases of the 5' end of the 16S rDNA were used to identify all isolates. A total of 43 bacterial strains were selected based on colony morphotypes from R2A plates inoculated with chlorinated feed water, discharge water, and biofilm samples taken from a distribution system simulator. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis can better identify poorly described, rarely isolated, or phenotypically aberrant strains, can be routinely used for. The objective of this study ws to use 16S rDNA sequence analysis to better identify WDS bacteria. The lack of success was attributed to the use of fatty acid databases of bacteria primarily grown on rich media. In a previously described study, only 15% of the bacterial strains isolated from a water distribution system (WDS) grown on R2A agar were identifiable using fatty acid methyl esthers (FAME) profiling. ![]()
