Prospect of Molecular Ecology in Microbial Communities of Biofilms

Abstract:

Use the latest molecular ecology to parse the dynamic changes of microbial community in biofilm under a variety of influences, which further reveals microbiological processes in the nitrogen and phosphorus removal reactor, and has great significance to study in-depth simple, efficient, low consumption of nutrient removal technology and its theory. This article described the extraction of total DNA, PCR, DGGE and other common molecular ecology techniques, summarized researches at domestic and foreign, discussed the application prospects of molecular ecology techniques for study of microbial communities in biofilm.
