However, microbial diversity, community structure and age related changes in workshops are poorly understood.
In turn, these changes in microbial diversity and structure, and nutrient ratio's, can cause shifts in other biological groups.
This was followed by a number of additional sea and ocean water analyses that investigated issues relating to microbial diversity, phylogeny, structure and function [12] [15].
More recently, with the introduction and growth of molecular tools in microbial ecology, many culture-independent methods have developed to overcome the cultivation biases and allow detailed information on microbial community diversity, structure, and function.
Microbial diversity and community structures in acidic hot springs have been characterized by 16S rRNA gene-based diversity surveys.
In this study, we examined the benthic microbial diversity and community structure under the influence of two maritime ports, Mucuripe (MUC) and Pecém (PEC), at Equatorial Atlantic Ocean in Northeast Brazil.
This article presents results from a long-term soil remediation experiment, where a range of soil chemical and biochemical indicators, as well as indices of microbial diversity and community structure, were analysed 13 years after the first application of two organic amendments (leonardite and biosolid compost) at different doses, in an area contaminated by trace elements.
In conclusions, the microbial diversity and community structure markedly changed in different aged workshops which corresponded to the strong flavoring characteristics of Jinhua ham.
However, desert farming may strongly affect the sand/soil microbial diversity reshaping the structure of the resident microbial communities [ 8, 9, 36, 37].
PCR-DGGE is a useful tool to examine microbial diversity and community structure in specific microhabitats and has been widely applied for comparative analysis of parallel samples.
