Use of Chloroflexus-Specific Antiserum To Evaluate Filamentous Bacteria of a Hot Spring Microbial Mat |
|
| Authors: | Timothy A Tayne Jim E Cutler and David M Ward |
| Abstract: | Polyclonal antiserum prepared against Chloroflexus aurantiacus reacted with all Chloroflexus strains examined but not with other morphologically or physiologically similar bacteria. Only one of three filament types in a natural hot spring cyanobacterial mat reacted with this antiserum. Reacting filaments remained antigenically positive deep within the mat in material estimated to be several years old. |
