IntroductionBacterial Diversity
– Culture-independent surveys, based on 16S gene analysis, indicates that there are many novel, yet-uncultured, bacteria in the environment
An “Unculturable” Majority– Apart from 16S gene
based analysis, little is known regarding: metabolic pathways, physiological activities, and community interactions
QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.

Candidate Division SR1
• Few 16S sequences are present in databases
• Found mainly in anaerobic habitats– Deep-sea hydrothermal vents and
sediments– Sulfur-rich sediments– Termite gut– Human oral cavity

SR1 Relevance
• Why SR1?– Interest was prompted because SR1 was
detected in Zodletone Springs using general bacterial primers
• Purpose– Survey different environments for SR1 and
to determine the diversity in each environment

Hypothesis
• Candidate division SR1 will be detected in a variety of anaerobic environments, including those with high and low sulfur contents.

Survey of SR1 in a variety of anaerobic environments
• Primer Design– 4 different primers
targeting 16S rRNA genes of SR1 sequences were designed
– These division specific primers were used together and in conjunction with general bacterial primers
• Sampling– Bovine rumen and feces– Zodletone Springs
Sediment– Hydrocarbon-
contaminated Soil– Kessler Farm Field Soil– Anaerobic Fresh-Water
Pond Sediments– Waste Water Treatment
Plant

Preliminary evidence that distinct SR1 members are present in different environments
•High level of diversity among the Zodletone clones – 11 sequences in 5 operational taxonomic units• The 5 Rumen clones are all the same OTU•The data shows that the primer design was effective because all the sequences belonged to SR1

Summary & Conclusion
• SR1 specific primers were designed to target the 16S rRNA gene and were validated
• These primers identified SR1 in most environments tested
• Preliminary phylogenetic analysis indicates a high level of diversity among the SR1 community in Zodletone, while there is less diversity in the Bovine Rumen
• SR1 was detected in 2 non-sulfur rich environments (Duck & Theta Pond). This suggests the SR1 is not restricted to sulfur-rich sites like Zodletone Springs and Sulfur River

Future Work
• Continue sequencing more clones of SR1 in all environments
• Investigate other uncultured divisions that are prevalent in anaerobic environments such as, TM7, WS5, SC3, OP11, OD1, and OD2
