The invention provides two new zoogloeal strains, mzlt and mz2t. The invention provides an isolated nucleic acid consisting of the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 1. Examples of nucleic acids of mz1t include SEQ ID NO: 2 and SEQ ID NO: 3. An example of a nucleic acid of mz2t is SEQ ID NO: 4. The invention also provides an isolated nucleic acid consisting of the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 5. A method of detecting the presence of zoogloeal clusters in a wastewater sample is provided, comprising: a) contacting RNA from a sample of the wastewater with a nucleic acid comprising the nucleic acid of SEQ ID Nos: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 under conditions that permit specific hybridization; and b) detecting the presence of hybridization, the presence of hybridization indicating the presence of zoogloeal clusters. A new Hyphomicrobium spp. strain, designated M3, is provided herein. The invention provides novel nucleic acids of a Hyphomicrobium sp. M3. For example SEQ ID NO: 6 and SEQ ID NO: 7 rDNAs of M3. SEQ ID Nos: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are presumptive Hyphomicrobium spp. sequences. SEQ ID NO: 15 is a consensus sequence from 6m3 and 3m3 (Hyphomicrobium sp. m3 isolated from sludge). A method of detecting the presence of a Hyphomicrobium species in a wastewater sample as described above, using a nucleic acid comprising the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 17 is also provided. The nucleic acids of SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 12, SEQ ID NO: 13, SEQ ID NO: 14 and SEQ ID NO: 15 can also be utilized in whole or as fragments in the detection method for Hyphomicrobium spp.
