Direct Detection of 16S rRNA in Soil Extracts by Using Oligonucleotide Microarrays

Abstract

ABSTRACT-We report on the development and validation of simple microarray method for the direct detection of intact 16S rRNA from un-purified soil extracts. Total RNA from Geobacter chapellei and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans was hybridized to an oligonculeotide array consisting of universal and species-specific 16S rRNA probes...
