Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis gel showing differently treated samples. Two Methylocystis bands are marked by x and y (S. mag. = Sphagnum magellanicum, S. maj. = Sphagnum majus). Closest database match to sequence x (HQ651182) was methanotrophic sequence from an acidic fen (FR726177) with 95% similarity. Sequence y (HQ651183) was identical to a Methylocystis sequence previously found on Finnish peatlands (GQ468279, GQ279344, FJ930091) and Sphagnum mosses (GQ121280).
