Combining Highly Sensitive Microarrays with Label-free Infrared Imaging 2014-015
ABSTRACT: From a research team led by Berkeley Lab's Hoi-Ying Holman: Archaea are usually minor components of a microbial community and dominated by a large and diverse bacterial population. In contrast, the SM1 Euryarchaeon dominates a sulfidic aquifer by forming subsurface biofilms that contain a very minor bacterial fraction (5%). These unique biofilms are delivered in … [Read more...] about Combining Highly Sensitive Microarrays with Label-free Infrared Imaging 2014-015
