Host Distributions of Uncultivated Fecal <i>Bacteroidales</i> Bacteria Reveal Genetic Markers for Fecal Source Identification
1 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to examine host distribution patterns among fecal bacteria in the order Bacteroidales, with the goal of using endemic sequences as markers for fecal source identification in aquatic environments. We analyzed Bacteroidales 16S rRNA gene sequences from the feces of eight hosts: human, bovine, pig, horse, dog, cat, gull, and elk. Recovered sequences did not match database sequences,...
