Quantitative Comparison of the in situ Microbial Communities in Different Biomes

Abstract

SLB analysis provides a quantitative and comprehensive basis for comparing the microbiota of different biomes. The ability to quantitatively define shifts in viable microbial biomass, community composition, and nutritional/physiological status as a result of disturbance and perturbation make the application of this technology ideal for monitoring in situ bioremediation and in providing a multi-species, multi-trophic level toxicity assessment.
