Abstract excerpt
The diversity of bacterial thiopurine methyltransferases (bTPMT) among five natural Se-methylating freshwaters was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screenings and sequencings. DNA sequence analyses confirmed the cloned products' identity and revealed a broad diversity of freshwater TPMTs. Neighbour-joining (NJ) phylogenetic analyses combining these sequences, all GenBank entries closely related to...
