Molecular Methods in Biological Systems

摘要: In 2008, molecular methods continue to be mainstream in environmental engineering research. Fingerprinting techniques such as denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis popular tools track differences microbial community composition over time space. Fluorescent situ hybridization (FISH) of whole cells was also commonly employed. Real quantitative PCR appear have become much more were used conduct comparative analyses communities different systems time.
