Abstract
An updated dataset of in silico specificities for 54 previously published 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotides was assembled to provide guidance for reliable fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of sulfate-reducing bacteria. Additionally, six new FISH probes were developed for major deltaproteobacterial taxa, including a probe trio targeting most Deltaproteobacteria and Gemmatimonadetes.
