Fosmid derived from uncultured Myxococcales bacterium clone MMCf2. uncultured Myxococcales bacterium

Samples for DNA extraction and subsequent construction of a fosmid library were taken from the upper 25 cm of surface sediment of an intertidal sand flat in the German Wadden Sea (53°43 N, 07°41 E). Sediment cores were collected at low tide on 23 March 2002. DNA taken for library construction was extracted from sediment of the 5- to 12-cm horizon.
