Cultivation-dependent and -independent approaches for determining bacterial diversity in heavy-metal-contaminated soil

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on diversity of culturable part of microbial communities and of that obtained from soil samples by rRNA gene amplification. The authors describe the use of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis to compare the diversity between these microbial communities, and report the results.
