A significant proportion of oral bacteria are unable to undergo cultivation by existing techniques. In this regard, the microbiota from root canals still requires complementary characterization. The present study aimed at the identification of bacteria by sequence analysis of 16S rDNA clone libraries from seven endodontically infected teeth. Samples were collected from the root canals, subjected to the PCR with universal 16S rDNA primers, cloned and partially sequenced. Clones were clustered into groups of closely related sequences (phylotypes) and identification to the species level was performed by comparative analysis with the GenBank, EMBL and DDBJ databases, according to a 98 % minimum identity. All samples were positive for bacteria and the number of phylotypes detected per subject varied from two to 14. The majority of taxa (65·2 %) belonged to the phylum Firmicutes of the Gram-positive bacteria, followed by Proteobacteria (10·9 %), Spirochaetes (4·3 %), Bacteroidetes (6·5 %), Actinobacteria (2·2 %) and Deferribacteres (2·2 %). A total of 46 distinct taxonomic units was identified. Four clones with low similarity to sequences previously deposited in the databases were sequenced to nearly full extent and were classified taxonomically as novel representatives of the order Clostridiales, including a putative novel species of Mogibacterium. The identification of novel phylotypes associated with endodontic infections suggests that the endodontium may still harbour a relevant proportion of uncharacterized taxa.

We characterized the bacterial diversity of newly produced steelmaking wastes (NPSW) and steelmaking wastes deposited (SWD) in a restricted land area, generated by the siderurgic industry, using the 16S rDNA clone library approach. A total of 212 partial-length sequences were analyzed, revealing 123 distinct operational taxonomic units (OTUs) determined by the DOTUR program to 97% sequence similarity. Phylogenetic analysis of bacterial 16S rDNA sequences from the NPSW and SWD libraries demonstrated that Gammaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Planctomycetes, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes were represented in both libraries. Deltaproteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi, Deinococcus-thermus, Gemmatimonadetes, and candidate divisions OP10 and OD1 were only present in the SWD library, and Nitrospira was only present in the NPSW library. The abundance of sequences affiliated with Gammaproteobacteria was high in both libraries. Six previously unclassified OTUs may represent novel taxa. Based on diversity indices (Simpson, Shannon–Weaver, Chao1, and ACE), the SWD library had a higher diversity. LIBSHUFF comparisons of the composition of the 2 libraries showed that they were significantly different. These results indicate that the bacterial communities in steelmaking wastes present high phylogenetic diversity and complexity. A possible association between the functional diversity and the bacterial communities’ complexity requires further phenotypic investigation.

ABSTRACT The establishment of bacterial communities in two healthy babies was examined for more than the first 10 months of life by monitoring 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) diversity in fecal samples by PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and by analyzing the sequences of the major ribotypes. DGGE profiles of the dominant populations in the intestines of the infants were obtained by analyzing daily or weekly fecal samples. After delivery, the germfree infant gastrointestinal tracts were rapidly colonized, and the succession of bacteria in each ecosystem was monitored. During the first few days of life the profiles were simple, but they became more complex as the bacterial diversity increased with time in both babies. Clone libraries of amplified 16S rDNA fragments from baby feces were constructed, and these libraries allowed identification of the bacterial types by comparative DNA sequence analysis; the bacteria identified included members of the genera Bifidobacterium, Ruminococcus, Enterococcus, Clostridium, and Enterobacter. Species most closely related to the genera Bifidobacterium and Ruminococcus in particular dominated the intestinal microbiota based on the stability over time and the numbers, as estimated by the intensities of the bands. However, 19 of the 34 cloned rDNA sequences exhibited less than 97% identity with sequences of known bacteria or cloned sequences in databases. This study showed that using PCR-DGGE and 16S rDNA sequence analysis together resulted in a dynamic description of bacterial colonization in the infant intestinal ecosystem and allowed visualization of bacteria that are difficult to cultivate or to detect by other methods.
