The phylum Acidobacteria is broadly represented in a variety of environments as reported during microbial molecular surveys. This study represents the first attempt to analyze the diversity of Acidobacteria in Roman Catacombs (Rome, Italy). Both 16S and 23S rRNA gene sequences were used to confirm the affiliation within different acidobacterial subgroups. The results showed Acidobacteria belonging to subgroups 3, 4, 6, 9, and 10 in the analyzed samples. The presence of acidobacterial sequences in biodeteriorating biofilms in Roman Catacombs suggest they could participate in this negative process, most likely in cooperation with other microbial groups.
如微生物分子调查中所报告的，酸杆菌门在各种环境中广泛存在。本研究首次尝试分析意大利罗马地下墓穴中酸杆菌的多样性。16S和23S rRNA基因序列均被用于确认不同酸杆菌亚群内的归属关系。结果表明，在分析的样本中存在属于第3、4、6、9和10亚群的酸杆菌。罗马地下墓穴中生物劣化生物膜上存在酸杆菌序列，这表明它们可能参与了这一负面过程，很可能是与其他微生物群体合作。
