FIG. 3.
Primer specificity. Alignment of 16S rRNA genes of o-17, DF-1, DEH10, Dehalococcoides ethenogenes 195 (DHE), and Chloroflexus aurantiacus (Chl.). Numbering is based on the E. coli 16S rDNA positions. The panel on the right shows an agarose gel of PCR products using primers Chl348F and Dehal884R and plasmids with cloned 16S rRNA gene templates from the organisms indicated. The top lane shows the DNA size marker (φXDNA-HaeIII digest).
