Environmental whole-genome amplification to access microbial populations in contaminated sediments
Article Abstract:
The construction of whole-genome-amplified environmental libraries for biodiversity assessment of low biomass contaminated subsurface sediment cores is reported. Whole-genome amplification of metagenomic DNA from very minute microbial sources will allow access to genomic information that was not accessible.
