Molecular Microbial Ecology

Molecular approaches to microbial ecology mean that in principle the entire range of species in a given sample can be analysed, in contrast to conventional techniques which rely on cell cultivation, and thereby typically include only about 10% of the species in a sample. Molecular Microbial Ecology provides both a theoretical and a methodological introduction to various key molecular techniques used in microbial ecology, focusing particularly on nucleic acid-based methodologies.Osborn, A.
