For the verification of species-specific PCR results, 16S rRNA
gene of representative isolate, cTY17, was sequenced in an ABI
310 DNA Sequencer at the Central Laboratory of Middle East
Technical University. The 16S rRNA gene amplification product was
sequenced in both directions using two external primers; 50- AGA
GTT TGA TCC TGG CTC AG -30 and 50- AGG GTT GCG CTC GTT G -30 ,
and two inner primers; 50- CTA CGG CTA CCT TGT TAC CA -30 and 50-
GTG CCA GCA GCC GCG GTA A -30.
