Abstract excerpt
16S rDNA clone libraries were analysed to investigate the microbial diversity in marine sediments from Sagami Bay (stations SA, water depth of 1159 m, and SB, 1516 m) and Tokyo Bay (station TK, 43 m). A total of 197 clones was examined by amplified rDNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) using three four-base-specific restriction enzymes (Hhal, Rsal and Haelll). In SA, 57 RFLP types were detected from 77 clones. In SB,...
