Survey of bromodeoxyuridine uptake among environmental bacteria and variation in uptake rates in a taxonomically diverse set of bacterial isolates

• Incorporation of 5-Bromo-2'-Deoxyuridine (BrdU) into DNA can be used to target replicating bacteria in the environment, but differential uptake capacity is a potential bias. Among 23 bacterial isolates commonly found in soils, most took up BrdU, but at up to 10-fold different cell-specific rates. Combined with results from an in silico analysis of 1000 BrdU-labeled 16S rRNA gene sequences, our results demonstrate a BrdU uptake bias with no apparent relationship between taxa affiliation and ability to incorporate BrdU.
