摘要: A quantitative fluorogenic PCR method for detecting methanogenic and methanotrophic orders was established using a refined primer set the methyl coenzyme M reductase subunit gene (mcrA). The developed applied to several microbial communities in which diversity abundance of methanogens or anaerobic methanotrophs (ANMEs) identified by 16S rRNA clone analysis, strong correlations between copy numbers mcrA with those archaeal genes were observed. assay can be assessing and/or ANMEs anoxic environments that could not detected sequence analyses.
