A PCR-based approach was developed to detect ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) form I large-subunit genes (cbbL) as a functional marker of autotrophic bacteria that fix carbon dioxide via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle. We constructed two different primer sets, targeting the green-like and red-like phylogenetic groups of cbbL genes. The diversity of these cbbL genes was analyzed by the use of three differently managed agricultural soils from a long-term field experiment. cbbL gene fragments were amplified from extracted soil DNAs, and PCR products were cloned and screened by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Selected unique cbbL clones were sequenced and analyzed phylogenetically. The green-like cbbL sequences revealed a very low level of diversity, being closely related to the cbbL genes of Nitrobacter winogradskyi and Nitrobacter vulgaris. In contrast, the red-like cbbL gene libraries revealed a high level of diversity in the two fertilized soils and less diversity in unfertilized soil. The majority of environmental red-like cbbL genes were only distantly related to already known cbbL sequences and even formed separate clusters. In order to extend the database of available red-like cbbL sequences, we amplified cbbL sequences from bacterial type culture strains and from bacterial isolates obtained from the investigated soils. Bacterial isolates harboring the cbbL gene were analyzed phylogenetically on the basis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences. These analyses revealed that bacterial genera such as Bacillus, Streptomyces, and Arthrobacter harbor red-like cbbL genes which fall into the cbbL gene clusters retrieved from the investigated soils.
