Quantitative analysis of ammonia oxidising bacteria using competitive PCR.
Culture-based methods for enumeration, such as most probable number (MPN) methodologies, have proved inefficient due to difficulties in the isolation and cultivation of ammonia oxidising bacteria in the laboratory. Biases are associated with the isolation of bacteria in selective media and organisms cultivated in the laboratory may not be truly representative of those in the environment. In thi...
متن کاملAnalysis of copy number variation using quantitative interspecies competitive PCR
Over recent years small submicroscopic DNA copy-number variants (CNVs) have been highlighted as an important source of variation in the human genome, human phenotypic diversity and disease susceptibility. Consequently, there is a pressing need for the development of methods that allow the efficient, accurate and cheap measurement of genomic copy number polymorphisms in clinical cohorts. We have...
متن کاملQuantitative RT-PCR using a PCR-generated competitive internal standard.
One approach to quantitate RNA is the use of a known number of competitive internal standard molecules that are reverse-transcribed and subsequently co-amplified under the same reaction conditions as the target sequence (3). This technique, called competitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (cRT-PCR) has been applied to monitor the level of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in patient...
متن کاملEffect of salinity on temporal and spatial dynamics of ammonia-oxidising bacteria from intertidal freshwater sediment.
Temporal and spatial dynamics within an ammonia-oxidising community from intertidal, freshwater sediments were studied in microcosms simulating flooding twice a day with fresh, brackish and marine waters. The microcosms had been filled with the upper 5 cm of intertidal freshwater sediment from the river Scheldt. Changes in community composition were examined by denaturing gradient gel electroph...
متن کاملDifferential response of nonadapted ammonia-oxidising archaea and bacteria to drying-rewetting stress.
Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of severe drought events followed by heavy rainfall, which will influence growth and activity of soil microorganisms, through osmotic stress and changes in nutrient concentration. There is evidence of rapid recovery of processes and adaptation of communities in soils regularly experiencing drying/rewetting and lower resistance and resilience ...
