title: Application of a newly developed ARB software-integrated tool for in silico terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis reveals the dominance of a novel pmoA cluster in a forest soil.
abstract: TRF-CUT, an ARB-implemented tool, was developed to predict in silico the terminal restriction fragments of aligned small-subunit rRNA gene or functional gene sequences. Application of this new tool to perform directed terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of pmoA products obtained from a forest soil revealed that novel cluster I methanotrophic bacteria were dominant.
