Modern techniques used for biodiversity analysis in bacterial environmental communities
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2013, Vol 67, Issue 11
Abstract
Molecular techniques are very popular in microbial laboratories. Among them FISH- fluorescent in situ hybridization (with modifications like: CARD-FISH, MAR-FISH, RING-FISH, Clone- FISH), DGGE – denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis based on 16S rRNA molecular marker and flow cytometry, are the most popular. These analytical methods are commonly use in bacterial biodiversity research. The analysis can be performed directly on the environmental sample, so these procedures are simpler and faster that traditional ones. Therefore, molecular techniques can be used in aqueous bacterial biocenosis research, such as activated sludge, which takes part in biological wastewater treatment. It is also possible to use a set of molecular methods in order to obtain complimentary results to present total bacterial biocenosis picture.
