Figure 4

DGGE pattern of PCR-amplified McrA gene fragments from environmental sediment samples. (a) winter pattern (0–5 cm depth), (b) winter patterns obtained from different depths, and (c) Winter (ew) and summer (es) patterns from different depths (cm). Bands across several lanes were identified as being in the same genera, and the arrow for ew1 shows its absence in the 0–5 cm depth summer sample (es). Band mcr-es5 is not shown in the figure.
