DNA was extracted from 2 separate biofilms (UBA and UBA BS) that were collected underground at the Ultraback A location (UBA site) in the Richmond Mine, Iron Mountain, CA. Iron Mountain is located at
Targeted next generation sequencing (16S rRNA) was performed to determine the bacterial community structures of foregut, midgut and hindgut of wood-feeding higher termite, Bulbitermes sp.
The DNA polymerase gene from the Archaea Thermococcus litoralis has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. It is split by two intervening sequences (IVSs) that form one continuous open reading
For a variety of kinds of studies it is useful to have a collection of so-called “phylogenetic marker” genes for the taxa of interest. Such genes would ideally be found in most or all of the taxa unde
