title: [Bacterial 16S rDNA sequence analysis of Siberian tiger faecal flora].
abstract: Bacterial 16S rDNA library of Siberian tiger was developed and 15 different clones were obtained using EcoR I and Hind III in restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. DNA sequencing and similarity analysis showed that 10 clones matched corresponding Clostridium sequences, of which 6 sequences had over 99% similarity with Clostridium novyi type A, and 4 sequences had 97% similarity with Swine manure bacterium RT-18B, which identified as Peptostreptococcus spp. The other five 16S rDNA sequences had 94% - 95% similarity with Clostridium pascui, Clostridium tetani E88, Clostridium sp. 14505 Clostridium perfringens and Carnobacterium sp. R-7279 respectively.
