Comparison based on partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing of bacterial communities in air collected in the inner gallery and in biofilms formed on the sandstone wall close to the air-sampling location.

A. Bacterial community fingerprints of air (BA) and biofilm (BF) samples by DGGE analysis. The partial 16S rRNA gene was amplified with primers GC8F and 520R.

B. Schematic diagram of the DGGE band patterns in A. Labeled bands correspond to 16S rRNA gene sequence types described in C and Table S1. Broken lines are DGGE bands that were not sequenced.

C. Phylogenetic relationships based on partial 16S rRNA gene sequences derived from air and biofilm samples by DGGE analysis. Sequences recovered in this study and corresponding to the band names in B are shown in bold type; “A” indicates bands derived from the air sample and “F” indicates bands derived from the biofilm sample. Numbers in parentheses are GenBank accession numbers. Neighbor-joining tree: bootstrap values based on 1,000 replicates are indicated for branches supported by 50% of trees. Scale bar represents 0.02 nucleotide changes per position.
