Legionella species diversity in an acidic biofilm community in Yellowstone National Park.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Jan 2005

Sheehan Kathy B, Henson Joan M, Ferris Michael J

Abstract excerpt

Legionella species are frequently detected in aquatic environments, but their occurrence in extreme, acidic, geothermal habitats has not been explored with cultivation-independent methods. We investigated a predominately eukaryotic algal mat community in a pH 2.7 geothermal stream in Yellowstone National Park for the presence of Legionella and potential host amoebae. Our analyses, using PCR amplification with...
