| Plate | Isolate | Closest database match | Accession no. | Length of overlap (nucleotides) | % Identity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aerobic | 3 | Uncultured Acinetobacter sp. clone VE12D01a | GQ179716 | 1,405 | 99 |
| 4 | Ochrobactrum sp. strain c261 | FJ950617 | 655 | 100 | |
| 5 | Acinetobacter haemolyticus | AY047216 | 1,421 | 99 | |
| Microaerobic | 2 | Shewanella sp. strain JC 19b | FM887036 | 1,342 | 99 |
| 3 | Uncultured Acinetobacter sp. clone VE12D01a | GQ179716 | 1,428 | 99 | |
| 4 | Ochrobactrum sp. strain c261 | FJ950617 | 655 | 100 |
a
The sequence of aerobic isolate 3 and microaerobic isolate 3 (Acinetobacter sp.) is identical to that obtained for clone 5 from the electrode DNA sample (Table 1).
b
The sequence of microaerobic isolate 2 (Shewanella) is only 91% identical in a 207-nucleotide overlap with that obtained for clone 7 from the electrode DNA sample (Table 1).
