Article Synopsis
- Molecular methods, like DNA probes and microarrays, were utilized to study pathogenic Vibrio species and their seasonal changes in the Chesapeake Bay.
- Researchers characterized microbial communities by amplifying the 16S rDNA gene from biofilm samples, discovering new Shewanella species and unknown bacteria in oysters.
- The development of microarrays aims to track bacterial species fluctuations and evaluate environmental health, ultimately assessing the risks of human illness related to water and shellfish consumption.
