DGGE and Phylogenetic Analysis
16S rRNA gene sequences amplified from DNA extracted
from magnetically purified MTB were assessed by DGGE.
In order to compare the MTB of Six-Fours-les-Plages to
that previously obtained from other areas in the world, a
phylogenetic tree was constructed, with the 16S rRNA
gene sequences of 12 major bands and the closest publicly
available sequences (Fig. 3).
