Recent advances in molecular techniques for the detection of phylogenetic markers and functional genes in microbial communities.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Oct 2007

Lau Stanley C K, Liu Wen-Tso

Abstract excerpt

The detection and analysis of nucleic acids extracted from microbial communities are the ultimate ways to determine the diversity and functional capability of microbial communities in the environments. However, it remains a challenge to use molecular techniques for unequivocal determination and quantification of microbial species composition and functional activities. Considerable efforts have been made to...
