Composition of microbial communities in hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) contaminated soils from Spain revealed with a habitat-specific microarray.
Environmental microbiology 20060101 1
Microarray technology was used to characterize and compare hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) contaminated soils from Spain. A library of 2,290 hypervariable 16S rRNA gene sequences was prepared with serial analysis of ribosomal sequence tags (SARST) from a composite of contaminated and uncontaminated soils. By designing hybridization probes specific to the 100 most abundant ribosomal sequence tags (RSTs) in the composite library, the RST array was designed to be habitat-specific and predicted to monit ...[more]
