..., 1995) and molecular ecological techniques for community profiling (Malik et al., 2008), soil metagenomics using isotope distribution analysis (Villas-Boas and Bruheim, 2007), and functional genomics and proteomics (Zhao and Poh, 2008) can help in identifying the partners and the patterns of responses to external stimuli within the network and the ‘system complexities’ of contaminated sites....

...There are also emerging techniques of molecular microbial ecology that do not rely on cultivation because of the viable, but nonculturable, phenomenon, which has been found to be very useful for monitoring the progress of bioremediation (Siciliano et al. 2003; Kloos et al. 2006; Brons and van Elsas 2008; Malik et al. 2008; Zengler 2008)....
