Abstract excerpt
Terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis is widely used in microbial ecology studies. In the present study, T-RFLP analysis of PCR products digested by five restriction enzymes (AluI, HaeIII, MspI, Sau3AI and TaqI) was applied for 20 samples from three contrasting coastal environments to assess the biases associated with the choice of enzyme digestion and T-RF analysis. The five enzyme...
