Examination of whole cell lipid profiles for PM1 [Methylibium petroleiphilum strain] and YM1 [Bacillus sp. strain] indicates that they are not identical strains. Thermal gradient gel electrophoresis(TGGE) analysis of 16S rRNA gene fragments from the two strains, however, showed no difference between them. 16S rDNA sequence analysis of strains PM1 and YM1 revealed that they are both most closely related to the genus Sphingomonas. 2, record 1, English, - thermal%20gradient%20gel%20electrophoresis

L'analyse de fragments obtenus après digestion de l'ADN ribosomal amplifié par des enzymes de restriction (ARDRA, amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis), la séparation des fragments amplifiés par électrophorèse sur gel avec gradient de dénaturation (DGGE, TGGE: thermal gradient gel electrophoresis) permettent de caractériser les communautés microbiennes par leur signature moléculaire. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lectrophor%C3%A8se%20sur%20gel%20en%20gradient%20de%20temp%C3%A9rature

Very little sequence homology exists between the binding sites of different bacterial mRNAs. In fact, the only common feature is the presence of a short sequence that is complementary to part of the region close to the 3’ end of the 16S rRNA. This polypurine stretch is often known as the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. 1, record 2, English, - ribosome%20binding%20site
