Archaeal communities in mangrove soil characterized by 16S rRNA gene clones.

Bing Yan, Kui Hong, Ziniu Yu

Abstract

An archaeal 16S rRNA gene library was constructed from mangrove soil. Phylogenetic analysis revealed archaea in mangrove soil including the Crenarchaeota (80.4%) and Euryarchaeota (19.6%) phyla. The archaeal community in mangrove soil appears to be a mixture of organisms found in a variety of environments with the majority being of marine origin.
