Abstract excerpt

The need to identify the source of fecal contamination of water has led to the development of various fecal source identification methods, a field known as microbial source tracking (MST). One promising method of MST focuses on fecal members of the order Bacteroidales, some of which exhibit a high degree of host-specificity. In order to identify host-specific Bacteroidales genetic markers, a ∼1060 bp section of...
