pH-FISH: coupled microscale analysis of microbial identity and acid–base metabolism in complex biofilm samples
20 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Correlative structural and chemical imaging of biofilms allows for the combined analysis of microbial identity and metabolism at the microscale. Here, we developed pH-FISH, a method that combines pH ratiometry with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in structurally intact biofilms for the coupled investigation of microbial acid metabolism and biofilm composition. Careful biofilm handling and...
