The Sulfate-Rich and Extreme Saline Sediment of the Ephemeral Tirez Lagoon: A Biotope for Acetoclastic Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria and Hydrogenotrophic Methanogenic Archaea
Figure 3
DGGE pattern of PCR-amplified aprA gene fragments from nonaxenic SRP cultures (a) and sediment samples (b). (a) series of DGGE patterns obtained from nonaxenic cultures inoculated from winter sediment (cw); (b) Series of DGGE patterns obtained from environmental samples: winter (ew) and summer (es) obtained from different depths (cm). The aprA gene fragment from 15–25 cm depth (winter) was not amplified. (c) Maximum Likelihood cluster analysis of the B-pattern DGGE profile the scale bar represents expected numbers of base substitutions.
