Flow Cytometry for Analyzing Mixed Microbial Populations
Fluorescent oligonucleotide hybridization probes were used to label bacterial cells for analysis by flow cytometry. The probes, complementary to short sequence elements within the 16S rRNA common to phylogenetically coherent assemblages of microorganisms, were labeled with tetramethylrhodamine and hybridized to suspensions of fixed cells. Flow cytometry was used to resolve individual target and...
متن کاملCarbon-isotopic analysis of microbial cells sorted by flow cytometry
One of the outstanding current problems in both geobiology and environmental microbiology is the quantitative analysis of in situ microbial metabolic activities. Techniques capable of such analysis would have wide application, from quantifying natural rates of biogeochemical cycling to identifying the metabolic activity of uncultured organisms. We describe here a method that represents one step...
متن کاملEcological Stability Properties of Microbial Communities Assessed by Flow Cytometry
Natural microbial communities affect human life in countless ways, ranging from global biogeochemical cycles to the treatment of wastewater and health via the human microbiome. In order to probe, monitor, and eventually control these communities, fast detection and evaluation methods are required. In order to facilitate rapid community analysis and monitor a community's dynamic behavior with hi...
متن کاملUsing flow cytometry to quantify microbial heterogeneity.
Flow cytometry is a powerful technique for the study of single cells, and thus it is of particular utility in the study of heterogeneity in microbial populations. This review seeks to highlight the role of flow cytometric analyses in studies of microbial heterogeneity, drawing wherever possible on recently published research articles. Whilst microbial heterogeneity is well documented in both na...
متن کاملComparison of RNA yield from small cell populations sorted by flow cytometry applying different isolation procedures.
BACKGROUND RNA from sorted cell populations is crucial in many instances. We therefore compared four current protocols for RNA isolation, with regard to mRNA yield and purity. Moreover, we examined the effects on RNA recovery caused by different storage reagents. METHODS Small populations of K562 cells or PMBC were sorted into the lysing reagent and subjected to RNA extraction, employing eith...
