Bacterial Community Structures of Planktonic Cells and Biofilm at Saguling Hydro Power using Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE)

Study of Bacterial Diversity in Poultry Gut Using Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis

Bacteria play an important role in the initiation and progression of diseases (not only in disease but affect health status of individual). Populations of digestive microflora in chicken gut change with age and also affected by diet, stressors, and performance enhancers as well as in disease conditions. The aim of the pre-sent study was to know bacterial makeup in chicken gut, using denaturing ...

Microbial Community Fingerprints by Differential Display Denaturing Gradient 1 Gel Electrophoresis ( DD - DGGE )

Application of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) for assessing fecal pollution sources at a recreational beach.

We investigated the effectiveness of Escherichia coli community fingerprinting for identifying fecal pollution sources impacting a recreational beach. E. coli in water collected from the beach, nearby creek and storm sewer outfall were enumerated using membrane filtration, while E. coli communities were characterized following polymerase chain reaction analysis and denaturing gradient gel elect...

Detecting the Effects of Fungicides on Soil Bacteria Populations using Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE)

Rationale Fungicide applications are a necessary practice to discourage disease development in most high quality turfgrass areas. Little is known, however, about the effects that fungicides have on resident microbial community of the soils supporting turfgrass sites. Soil bacteria are responsible for important processes including pesticide degradation, nutrient cycling, and organic matter break...

Microbial community fingerprinting by differential display-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis.

Complex microbial communities exhibit a large diversity, hampering differentiation by DNA fingerprinting. Herein, differential display-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis is proposed. By adding a nucleotide to the 3' ends of PCR primers, 16 primer pairs and fingerprints were generated per community. Complexity reduction in each partial fingerprint facilitates sample comparison.
