摘要：The specific primers for bacteria (63f and 1387r) were used to amplify the 16S-rRNA genes from total community genomic DNA of thermophilic bacteria. The total community genomic DNA was obtained from muds and water samples of Candradimuka crater, Dieng Plateau, Central Java. PCR products were cloned into vector pCR*2.1-TOPO (3.9 kb) and transformed into Escherichia coli TOPIC. Two tetrameric restriction endonucleases Rsal and Hhal were employed to generate Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLP) paterns. These enzymes yielded 10 and 9 groups of 16S-rRNA profiles or OTU (Operational Taxonomic Units) from 27 16S-rRNA gene clones. Rsal was found to be more discriminative in differentiating the clones than Hhal. Rsal-RFLP indicated that OTU 7 and OTU 3 represented the most abundant clones, i.e. 6 and 5 clones respectively. The distribution of 16S-rRNA gene clones could indicate relative distribution of specific groups of thermophilic bacteria in their natural habitat. Analysis of diversity at the DNA level could represent both culturable and unculturable bacteria in the environment. Similarity analysis showed that at level 0.600 there were 8 different groups from 10 RFLP profiles generated by Rsal digestion. This study indicated that there were at least 8 groups of different thermophilic bacteria occupying Candradimuka crater. Key words: Thermophiles, 16S-rRNA, Candradimuka crater.
