چکیده
Five years after the introduction of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis(DGGE) and temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) in environmental microbiology these techniques are now routinely used in many microbiological laboratories worldwide as molecular tools to compare the diversity of microbial communities and to monitor population dynamics. Recent advances in these techniques have demonstrated their importance in microbial ecology.

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis as a fingerprinting method for the analysis of soil microbial communities
In soil microbial ecology, the effects of environmental factors and their gradients, temporal changes or the response to specific experimental treatments of microbial communities can only be effectively analyzed using methods that address the structural differences among whole communities. Fingerprinting methods are the most appropriate technique for this task when multiple samples must be anal...
متن کاملRNA-TGGE, a Tool for Assessing the Potential for Bioremediation in Impacted Marine Ecosystems
Cultivation-independent genomic approaches have greatly advanced our understanding of the ecology and diversity of microbial communities involved in biodegradation processes. However, much still needs to be resolved in terms of the structure, composition and dynamics of the microbial community in impacted ecosystems. Here we report on the RNA activity of the microbial community during the biore...
متن کاملApplication of Nested PCR-DGGE (Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis) for the Analysis of Ciliate Communities in Soils
Ciliates play important roles as prey and predators in ecosystems. Changes in the ciliate community can affect the composition and population of microfauna and microflora in ecosystems. To investigate the structure of ciliate communities, we developed a nested PCR-DGGE method, which combines a universal eukaryotic-specific primer set in the first PCR step with a ciliate-specific primer set in t...
متن کاملThe effects of crude oil on marine microbial communities in sediments from the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea: A microcosm experiment
Changes in the microbial community in response to catastrophic oil spills in marine and fresh water environments have been well documented. Molecular methods provide tools for analyzing the entire bacterial community, covering also those bacteria that have not been cultured in the laboratory. In this study, four different microcosms were set up containing sediments collected from the Persian Gu...
