Sentence examples for microbial ecology studies from inspiring English sources

Previous MFC microbial ecology studies have used Sanger-based 16S rRNA sequencing for microbial community characterization.

Microbial ecology studies (16S rRNA clone library) revealed reduced diversity relative to reactors operated without suspended solids.

Microbial ecology studies based on 16S rRNA gene libraries have generally shown an underestimated bacterial diversity (Zhou et al. 2001; Zhang et al. 2009; Silva et al. 2010b).

Microbial ecology studies in MFC systems are important for understanding the mechanism of microbial electricity generation (Rabaey et al. [2007]; Rabaey and Rozendal [2010]).

This work builds upon the recently developed MIxS-BE package that identifies high-level minimal built environment metadata to collect in microbial ecology studies, primarily by providing more justification, detail, and context for these important parameters and others from the perspective of engineers and building scientists.

It is our intent to provide microbial ecologists with knowledge of many of the tools available for built environment data collection, as well as some of the constraints and considerations for these tools, which may improve our ability to design indoor microbial ecology studies that can better inform building design and operation.

A main aim of many microbial community ecology studies is to quantify microbial species richness and attach the best available names to their operational taxonomic units.

Metagenomics, i.e. the sequencing of DNA isolated from environmental samples, provides a new way to study communities in microbial ecology, and enables studies of detoxification systems in natural environments in an unbiased way and on a genome-wide scale.

Microbial ecology is the study of microbes' relationship with their environment and other organisms.

"It's a complicated system," said Brent C. Christner, an assistant professor at Louisiana State University, who studies microbial ecology in glacial ice and has found the bacteria in Antarctica.

The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) or high-throughput sequencing has revolutionized the field of microbial ecology and brought classical environmental studies to another level.
