Acidobacteria phylum sequences in uranium-contaminated subsurface sediments greatly expand the known diversity within the phylum.
Bioscience Division, M888, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545, USA.
The abundance and composition of bacteria of the phylum Acidobacteria were surveyed in subsurface sediments from uranium-contaminated sites using amplification of 16S rRNA genes followed by clone/sequence analysis. Analysis of sequences from this study and public databases produced a revised and greatly expanded phylogeny of the Acidobacteria phylum consisting of 26 subgroups.
