Use of Chloroflexus-Specific Antiserum To Evaluate Filamentous Bacteria of a Hot Spring Microbial Mat

Tayne, Timothy A.

RESUMO

Polyclonal antiserum prepared against Chloroflexus aurantiacus reacted with all Chloroflexus strains examined but not with other morphologically or physiologically similar bacteria. Only one of three filament types in a natural hot spring cyanobacterial mat reacted with this antiserum. Reacting filaments remained antigenically positive deep within the mat in material estimated to be several years old.
