Abstract
Diversity of myxobacteria in five soil samples from Asansi and Uponeup in Korea was explored by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers that specifically bind 16S rDNA of myxobacteria. DNA sequence analysis of 76 PCR fragments containing myxobacterial 16S rDNA revealed five putative novel myxobacterial genera whose 16S rDNA sequences shared <95% sequence identity with those of the type strains. This finding indicates the presence of many uncultured and unidentified myxobacterial species in Korean soil.
