Abstract
Unique bacterial strains and identifying 16S rDNA sequences have been isolated from activated wastewater sludge. The 16S rDNA sequences are diagnostic for organisms which are key to the health of activated sludge wastewater systems.
Claims2
An isolated 16S rDNA molecule indicative of the presence of an activated sludge bacterial strain selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:5;
- and
- (b) the isolated nucleic acid molecule that is completely complementary to (a).
An isolated 16S rDNA molecule indicative of the presence of an activated sludge bacterial strain selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) the nucleic acid molecule consisting of SEQ ID NO:29;
- (b) the nucleic acid molecule consisting of SEQ ID NO:30;
- and
- (c) the isolated nucleic acid molecule that is completely complementary to (a) or (b).
