Depth related diversity of methanogen Archaea in Finnish oligotrophic fen.
The annual rate of CH4 release and potential CH4 production has recently been studied in the Salmisuo fen in eastern Finland but the microbiota responsible for the CH4 production has not been examined. The diversity of the methane producing Archaea was analysed, at different depths, in the most representative microsite (Eriophorum lawn) of the fen. Methanogen populations were studied using prim...
متن کاملUse of an alternative Archaea-specific probe for methanogen detection.
An alternative 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probe specific for Archaea was developed and used for detection of methanogens in anaerobic reactors. The designed probe was checked for its specificity by computer-aided comparative sequence analysis. For in situ application, optimal stringency conditions were adjusted by performing whole cell hybridization using target and nontarget organisms. ...
متن کاملInsertion sequence diversity in archaea.
Insertion sequences (ISs) can constitute an important component of prokaryotic (bacterial and archaeal) genomes. Over 1,500 individual ISs are included at present in the ISfinder database (www-is.biotoul.fr), and these represent only a small portion of those in the available prokaryotic genome sequences and those that are being discovered in ongoing sequencing projects. In spite of this diversi...
متن کاملMicrosite-dependent changes in methanogenic populations in a boreal oligotrophic fen.
Wetlands, including peatlands, are the main source of natural methane emission. Well-defined fen microsites have different methane emissions rates, but it is not known whether the methane-producing Archaea communities vary at these sites. Possible horizontal variations of communities, in a natural oligotrophic fen, were analysed by characterizing the methanogens from two well-defined microsites...
متن کاملDiversity of DNA Replication in the Archaea
DNA replication is arguably the most fundamental biological process. On account of their shared evolutionary ancestry, the replication machinery found in archaea is similar to that found in eukaryotes. DNA replication is initiated at origins and is highly conserved in eukaryotes, but our limited understanding of archaea has uncovered a wide diversity of replication initiation mechanisms. Archae...
