Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify three kinds of black-pigmented periodontal pathogens P. gingivalis Pg, P. intermedia Pi, P. nigrescens Pn by 16S rDNA and microarray.
Methods: A pair of universal primers which can amplify a section of conservative domain of bacterial 16S rDNA based on the sequences of 16S rDNA in Genebank were designed. Then the specific oligonucleotide probes for Pg Pi Pn based on the sequences of the conservative domain were constructed. Standard bacterial genomic DNAs were amplified using the designed universal primers by PCR, and labeled by digoxigenin at the same time, the products of PCR were hybridized with the microarray in which the specific probes were added. The results of hybridization were analysed.
Results: The results of hybridization showed that the specific probes of Pg Pi Pn on microarray reacted only with corresponding PCR products of Pg Pi Pn, not reacted with others.
Conclusion: The method of 16S rDNA and membrane microarray could be useful to identify Pg Pi Pn, and had high specificity. It will be developed into a kind of clinical bacterial detective system.

An obligately anaerobic, spore-forming sulphate-reducing bacterium, strain SB140, was isolated from a long-term continuous enrichment culture that was inoculated with peat soil from an acidic fen. Cells were immotile, slightly curved rods that stained Gram-negative. The optimum temperature for growth was 28 °C.

A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped strain, designated SPB1-3, was isolated from tree bark. This strain exhibited heterofermentative production of dl-lactic acid from glucose. Optimal growth was observed at 25-40 °C, pH 4.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated as HZG-20, was isolated from a tidal flat in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, China. The 16S rRNA sequence similarities between strain HZG-20 and RR4-56, NNCM2, P31 and X9-2-2 were 98.9, 91.

A novel aerobic marine bacterium, FRT2, isolated from surface water of a fishing port in Fukui, Japan, was characterised based on phylogenomic and phylogenetic analyses combined with classical phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characterisations. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain FRT2 clustered with genus Leeuwenhoekiella. Closest relatives of FRT2 were Leeuwenhoekiella palythoae KMM 6264 and Leeuwenhoekiella nanhaiensis G18 with 16S rRNA gene sequence identities of 95.
