We are currently sampling the surface and shallow subsurface of soils, both wetted and submerged in water, monitoring the microbial diversity of the saline flood waters over time, and analyzing timepoints since the rain events, to further strengthen our conclusions.
The focus of ATP sampling for MSL was to monitor the microbial cleanliness of spacecraft surfaces that underwent microbial reduction and were assembled in controlled, HEPA-filtered clean rooms.
In addition, monitoring the microbial succession during the composting process will be an effective management of the process and it further reflects the quality of maturing compost (Lasaridi and Stentiford 1998).
In 2007, Llewelyn and Cohen addressed the relevance of monitoring the microbial epidemiology of sepsis on a local basis [ 9].
The fingerprint technique of Automated Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer Analysis (ARISA) was used to monitor the microbial dynamics.
A review of recent reports highlights cost concerns along with the importance of monitoring the microbial content of rinse samples from BCs [ 10].
Second, proper application of PCR techniques provides an accurate, safe, sensitive, specific, and fast diagnostic method that can be used to monitor the microbial load of drinking water.
22 23 Furthermore, real-time PCR which focuses on the temporal measurement of fluorescent signals generated in each amplification cycle, has been explored to monitor the microbial load and rapidly target specific micro-organisms in clinical specimens.
Here, we applied phi29 DNA polymerase to generate sufficient quantities of DNA from oropharyngeal mucosal swabs to analyze and monitor the microbial community associated with liver cirrhosis and pneumonia, which was accompanied by further DGGE analysis of the V3 region of the 16S rDNA.
On the other hand, monitoring of the microbial environment is essential to prevent infectious diseases in space.
