Table S2. Oligonucleotide probes sequence targeting the Methyl Coenzyme M reductase subunit A gene (mcrA). The 49 and 50-mers probes designed could be specific (1 oligonucleotide) or degenerated (2, 4, 8 oligonucleotides) as indicated in brackets. Probes were designed from the most conserved regions of each group determined after a clustering using ClustalW2 (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalw2/)
