Abstract excerpt
The beta-subgroup of the Proteobacteria has been shown to be important in aquatic habitats and was investigated in depth here by molecular 16S rRNA techniques in biofilms of the Elbe River and its polluted tributary, the Spittelwasser River. The bacterial 16S rRNA genes were cloned from each site, screened for beta-proteobacterial clones and sequenced. River biofilm clones from both rivers grouped into 9 clusters...
