Abstract/Contents:"We have developed a molecular barcoding system for identification of soil nematodes by DNA sequencing. PCR is carried out on individual nematodes, and the 5' segment of the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU) gene is amplified and sequenced. Resulting sequences (typically 450-500 bases) are aligned and clustered using a neighbour-joining algorithm. Groups of similar or identical sequences are designated as molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTU). A Scottich upland Agrostis-Festuca grassland soil was sampled, using both random and culture-based methods. The MOTU discovered could readily be assigned to classical, morphologically defined taxonomic groups using a database of SSU sequences from named nematode species. The MOTU technique allows a rapid assessment of nematode taxonomic diversity in soils. Correlation with a database of sequences from known species offers a route to application of the technique in ecological surveys addressing biological as well as genetic diversity."
