Abstract excerpt
The internal 16S/23S rDNA (rrs/rrl) internal spacer region 1 (ITS1) of 54 Ochrobactrum strains and close relatives was analysed. Separation of ITS1 containing PCR products by gel-electrophoresis, DGGE, cloning and sequencing revealed ITS1 length and sequence heterogeneity. We found up to 5 different allelic ITS1 stretches within a single strain (Ochrobactrum intermedium LMG 3301T), and 2-3 different ITS1 alleles...
