TL;DR: The SRP-PhyloChip results were confirmed by several DNA microarray-independent techniques, including specific PCR amplification, cloning, and sequencing of SRP 16S rRNA genes and the genes encoding the dissimilatory (bi)sulfite reductase (dsrAB).

Michael Wagner,Alexander Loy +1 more
TL;DR: Unexpectedly, previously unrecognised, yet uncultured bacteria were demonstrated to catalyse nitrogen and phosphorous removal in activated-sludge and biofilm reactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
probeBase—an online resource for rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes: new features 2007
TL;DR: ProbeBase is a curated database of annotated rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes and supporting information that allows any user to add, modify or remove information or to report errors in real-time.
