Assessment of Bacterial Communities Within the Biofilm of Bladder Calculi in the Neurogenic Bladder Rat Model Following Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]
Purpose To develop a rat model of bladder calculi in the neurogenic bladder following spinal cord injury (SCI) and assess bacterial communities within the biofilm of bladder calculi using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE).

Assessment of ciliates in the sheep rumen by DGGE [PDF]
This work was carried out to develop a rapid molecular profiling technique to screen ciliate populations in the rumen of sheep.DGGE was used to study the ciliate diversity in the rumen of sheep. There was considerable variation between sheep which were co-housed, and fed the same diet.

Repeated pulse feeding induces functional stability in anaerobic digestion [PDF]
Anaerobic digestion is an environmental key technology in the future bio-based economy. To achieve functional stability, a minimal microbial community diversity is required. This microbial community should also have a certain “elasticity”, i.e.

Evaluation of variations in plastid DNA non-coding regions in selected species of the genus Solanum
The diversity of three non-coding plastid DNA loci (trnL/trnF spacer, trnV/16SrRNA spacer, trnL/trnL intron) was assessed in 16 Solanum L. species (135 individuals).

Emulsion PCR (ePCR) as a Tool to Improve the Power of DGGE Analysis for Microbial Population Studies
To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of the use of emulsion-Polymerase chain reaction (e-PCR) coupled with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis. In the present work the effectiveness of ePCR in improving the power of the

Optimization of the DGGE band identification method
Denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) enables insight into the diversity of the studied microbial communities on the basis of separation of PCR amplification products according to their nucleotide sequence composition. However, the success of the method is accompanied by the inherent appearance of various sequence artifacts that bias the ...

Sustainable Power Production in a Membrane-less and Mediator-less Wastewater Microbial Fuel Cell [PDF]
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) fed with wastewater are currently considered a feasible strategy for production of renewable electricity at low cost. A membrane-less MFC with biological cathode was built from a compact wastewater treatment reactor.

How endo- is endo-?: surface sterilization of delicate samples: a Bryopsis (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) case study [PDF]
In the search for endosymbiotic bacteria, elimination of ectosymbionts is a key point of attention. Commonly, the surface of the host itself or the symbiotic structures are sterilized with aggressive substances such as chlorine or mercury derivatives ...

DGGE-based detection method for Quahog Parasite Unknown (QPX) [PDF]
Quahog Parasite Unknown (QPX) is a significant cause of hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria mortality along the northeast coast of the United States. It infects both wild and cultured clams, often annually in plots that are heavily farmed. Subclinically infected clams can be identified by histological examination of the mantle tissue, but there is ...

Molekulski pristopi pri raziskavah arbuskularne mikorize
Arbuskularna mikoriza se je razvila v koevoluciji s kopenskimi rastlinami. Čeprav predstavlja eno najbolj razširjenih simbioz na kopnem, še vedno obstajajo številna odprta vprašanja o biologiji arbuskularnih mikoriznih gliv ter njihovi ekološki vlogi v ...
