Twelve probiotic Lactobacillus strains for poultry were characterised by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) using Sau3AI, TaqI, HaeIII and AluI restriction endonucleases. Species-specific and strain-specific restriction patterns were observed from the bacterial strains. Numerical analysis of composite analysis of ARDRA exhibited D value of 0.8456. Whereas, the caculated D values of ARDRA patterns generated by Sau3AI, TaqI, HaeIII and AluI were 0.8309, 0.8382,0.8088 and 0.8088, repectively. Composite analysis of ARDRA was the most discriminative method when compared to the individual analysis. ARDRA could distinguished L. reuteri C 10 and L. panis C 17 into single strains. The 16S rRNA gene restriction patterns were also able to group L. gallinarum I 16 and I 26 into single strains. Lactobacillus brevis I 12, I 23, I 25, I 211 and I 218 seem to be multiple clones of the same bacterial strain as are L. reuteri C 1 and C 16. ARDRA is a valuable fingerprinting method to discriminate probiotic Lactobacillus strains.

ABSTRACT We obtained nine bacterial isolates from root or collar nodules of the non-stem-nodulated Aeschynomene species A. elaphroxylon, A. uniflora, or A. schimperi and 69 root or stem nodule isolates from the stem-nodulated Aeschynomene species A. afraspera, A. ciliata, A. indica,A. nilotica, A. sensitiva, and A. tambacoundensis from various places in Senegal. These isolates, together with 45 previous isolates from variousAeschynomene species, were studied for host-specific nodulation within the genus Aeschynomene, also revisiting cross-inoculation groups described previously by D. Alazard (Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 50:732–734, 1985). The whole collection ofAeschynomene nodule isolates was screened for synthesis of photosynthetic pigments by spectrometry, high-pressure liquid chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography analyses. The presence ofpuf genes in photosyntheticAeschynomene isolates was evidenced both by Southern hybridization with a Rhodobacter capsulatus photosynthetic gene probe and by DNA amplification with primers defined from photosynthetic genes. In addition, amplified 16S ribosomal DNA restriction analysis was performed on 45 Aeschynomeneisolates, including strain BTAi1, and 19 reference strains fromBradyrhizobium japonicum, Bradyrhizobium elkanii, and other Bradyrhizobium sp. strains of uncertain taxonomic positions. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the photosynthetic strain ORS278 (LMG 12187) was determined and compared to sequences from databases. Our main conclusion is that photosynthetic Aeschynomene nodule isolates share the ability to nodulate particular stem-nodulated species and form a separate subbranch on the Bradyrhizobium rRNA lineage, distinct from B. japonicum and B. elkanii.

<p><em>Sponges</em><em> are one of the components that compose coral reef which have a potential bioactive substance that has not been utilized. Sponges are generally able to survive in marine waters were nutrients are poor because of associations with other organisms, especially bacteria. This study aimed to isolate and characterize bacteria (endosymbiont and ectosimbion) that produce antimicrobial compounds, and analyze genetic diversity based on Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis (ARDRA). The results of isolation obtained 138 bacterial isolates, which are 70 endofit isolates and 68 surfaces isolates respectively. The results obtained, based on antimicrobial test, was 32 bacterial isolates (45.71%) of the total bacterial isolates that have endofit antimicrobial activity, whereas on the surface bacteria, 20 bacterial isolates (29.41%) of the total surface of the bacterial isolates also have antimicrobial activity. Genetic diversity was carried out on 30 isolates that has the best antimicrobial activity. Amply</em><em>fi</em><em>cation of 16S rRNA gene is done using specific primers, 63f and 1387r. The profile of 16S rRNA gene band shows a </em><em>high </em><em>diversity, which is generated after cutting with three restriction enzymes </em><em>i.e.</em><em> </em><em>RsaI</em><em>, HaeIII and HinfI. The three restriction enzymes have different cuts and properties. Construction of phylogenetic trees based on analysis of Amplified Ribosomal DNA restriction, grouped 30 isolates from the sponge Jaspis sp. which have a microbial activity on seven filotipe. This grouping is based on the similarities cuts of sites of each isolate after restriction by three different restriction enzymes.</em></p>

ABSTRACTIn this study, we describe the molecular characterization of a plasmid-locatedblaNDM-1harbored by anAcinetobacterclinical isolate recovered from a patient in Turkey that putatively constitutes a novelAcinetobacterspecies, as shown by its distinct ARDRA (amplified 16S ribosomal DNA restriction analysis) profile and molecular sequencing techniques.blaNDM-1was carried by a conjugative plasmid widespread among non-baumannii Acinetobacterisolates, suggesting its potential for dissemination before reaching more clinically relevantAcinetobacterspecies.
