摘要
Thirty-seven strains of mesophilic and thermophilic methanogenic Archaea, belonging to 30 species, were analyzed by length polymorphism (LP) and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) of an amplified 300-bp fragment of the 16S rRNA gene (Escherichia coli positions 9-331) including the variable regions V1 and V2. LPs and SSCPs were detected between species and between strains of the same species (Methanobacterium formicicum). LPs were found in Mb. formicicum DSMZ 3637, Mb. ivanovii DSMZ 2.611, Mb. wolfei DSMZ 2970, Methaosarcina barkeri DSMZ 800, and Methanosaeta concilii DSMZ 3671, suggesting the presence of polymorphic 16S rRNA genes in the genome. We propose that LP and SSCP analysis of the 16S rRNA gene could be of practical help for strain identification. (C) 1998 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.
