ABSTRACT

Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences from deep marine sediments identified a deeply branching clade, designated candidate division JS1. Primers for PCR amplification of partial 16S rRNA genes that target the JS1 division were developed and used to detect JS1 sequences in DNA extracted from various sedimentary environments, including, for the first time, coastal marine and brackish sediments.
