The shotgun isotope array method has been proposed to be an effective new tool for use in substrate-specific microbe exploration without any prior knowledge of the community composition. Proof of concept was demonstrated by detection of acetate-degrading microorganisms in activated sludge and further verified by independent stable isotope probing (SIP).
shotgun 同位素探针法被提议作为一种新的有效工具,用于在没有任何群落组成先验知识的情况下进行特定基质微生物的探测。通过在活性污泥中检测乙酸降解微生物,证明了该方法的概念验证,并且通过独立的稳定同位素探针(SIP)进一步验证。
