The presence of linA-homologous nucleotide sequences and their sequence diversity was investigated by linA-targeted PCR amplification of DNA obtained from different soils in the field and in Japan. linA-homologous sequences were obtained from almost all the soils some of which had never been treated with γ-HCH. Deduced amino acid sequences suggested that they can be regarded as fragments of linA that encode LinA. Some common, natural function of LinA in soil was suggested., Microbes and environments. 2007, 22(4), p.399-404}, pages = {399--404}, title = {Presence of linA-Homologous DNA Sequences in Different Types of Soil and Their Sequence Diversity}, volume = {22}, year = {2007} }
