Monitoring of antibiotic-induced alterations in the human intestinal microflora and detection of probiotic strains by use of terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism

Article Abstract:

The terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RELP) was examined as a tool for monitoring the human intestinal microflora during antibiotic treatment and during ingestion of a probiotic product. Changes in the microbial intestinal community composition and relative abundance of specific microbial populations in each subject are monitored using viable counts and T-RFLP fingerprints.

Molecular fingerprinting of the fecal microbiota of children raised according to different lifestyles

Article Abstract:

The terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) is used to investigate the relationship between the selected lifestyles factors and intestinal microbial community profiles in children raised according to different lifestyles. The results have shown that the different lifestyles might have an impact on the composition of the gut microbiota.

Novel 4-chlorophenol degradation gene cluster and degradation route via hydroxyquinol in Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6

Article Abstract:

The biochemistry and genetics of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) degradation in Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6 are elucidated. Results suggest that hydroxyquinol is an intermediate in the 4-CP degradation route used by Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6.
