Analysis of bacterial genetic diversity in biofloc by using ARDRA 16S-rRNA gene by , Widanarni, Dewi Nurhayati, Dinamella Wahjuningrum

“…The 16S-rRNA gene of the isolates was then cut using HaeIII (5’-GG↓CC) and HhaI (5’-GCG↓C) restriction enzymes resulting an ARDRA pattern which was further used as the binary data for the construction of phylogenetics tree that was used to estimate the group of bacteria. The result with HaeIII cut restriction enzyme from biofloc-associated bacteria gave 11 ARDRA patterns, while with the restriction enzyme HhaI gave eight ARDRA patterns. …”
