uncultured marine bacterium
Coastal sediments from Port Curtis, near Gladstone, Queensland, Australia. Map co-ordinates S 23*48'42.7" E 151*12'19.0". Coastal marine sediment collected up to 10cm depth with a Van Veen sediment grab. Sediment was predominantly sandy with shell fragments, with Eh readings between 200 and -110meV. Neutral pH, organic carbon content 0.3 - 2.6%. Total DNA was extracted from sediment and PCR amplified using primers specific for bacterial 16S rRNA.
