Potential and limitations of BIOLOG for microbial community analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Characterization of community-level substrate utilization via incubation of environmental samples in BIOLOG microplates has been increasingly applied in many areas of microbial ecology. The easily-produced multivariate profile allows for intensive spatial and temporal analysis of microbial communities, and it is a sensitive and reproducible tool for characterizing microbial communities. This work addresses several procedural and ecological issues with the assay which have been raised in the literature.

Recently, concern over environmental and health effects of massive use of antibiotics has led to the growth of bio-control agent application. Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural polymer that can be depolymerized into water-soluble short-chain fatty acid monomers and acts as a microbial control agent. In this study, the effects of the addition of PHB to the diet of Siberian sturgeon f...
متن کاملPhospholipid fatty acid pro¢les and carbon utilization patterns for analysis of microbial community structure under ¢eld and greenhouse conditions
The description of soil microbial community structure by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiles is based on the relationship between the phylogeny of microorganisms and their PLFA profiles. Based on this relationship, two community based microbiological measurements, namely, potential C source utilization patterns in Biolog microtiter plates and PLFA profiles were used to examine metabolic fin...
متن کاملAnalysis of BIOLOG GN Substrate Utilization Patterns by Microbial Communities.
BIOLOG GN plates are increasingly used to characterize microbial communities by determining the ability of the communities to oxidize various carbon sources. Studies were done to determine whether the BIOLOG GN plate assay accurately reflects the catabolic potential of the inoculum used. To gain insight into which populations of microbial communities contribute to the BIOLOG patterns, denaturin...
متن کاملEffect of metal-rich sludge amendments on the soil microbial community.
The effects of heavy-metal-containing sewage sludge on the soil microbial community were studied in two agricultural soils of different textures, which had been contaminated separately with three predominantly single metals (Cu, Zn, and Ni) at two different levels more than 20 years ago. We compared three community-based microbiological measurements, namely, phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analy...

Kocho and Bula are fermented product of Enset (Ensete ventricosum). It is the staple food for 20 million people in Ethiopia. The aim of study was to isolate, identify and characterize yeast species from fermented kocho and bulla by using Biolog Micro station. 300 Kocho samples were collected from Angacha District. 0.1ml of serially diluted samples were Streaked on yeast pepton dextrose agar and...
