16S rRNA sequencing was used to determine Chloroflexi diversity on 12 soil samples taken from an underground tunnel in Sweden. Out of the 64 novel sequences obtained, 9 were confirmed to be of Chloroflexi origin, with the other 55 sequences classified as either unknown or of other species by the Nat...
