Abstract

A PCR assay based on 16S rRNA sequence differences among four thermophilic anaerobic bacterial strains was used to demonstrate contamination of Clostridium thermocellum JW20 (ATCC 31549) with a Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus strain. Therefore, we suggest that interpretation of experimental results with C. thermocellum JW20 be viewed with caution.
