The influence of human settlement on the distribution´and diversity of iron-oxidizing bacteria belonging to the Gallionellaceae in tropical streams

Among the neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB), Gallionella is one of the mostabundant genera in freshwater environments. By applying qPCR and DGGE based on16S rRNA gene-directed primers targeting Gallionellaceae, we delineated the composition and abundance of the Gallionellaceae-related FeOB...
