Advantages and limitations of quantitative PCR (Q-PCR)-based approaches in microbial ecology. (2009, methodology): “…from environmental samples is often compromised by the requirement for an initial amplification step from the environmental DNA (or RNA), often via PCR amplification (Brodie et al., 2007), but alternatively via rolling linear amplification (He et al., 2007a), before microarray hybridization.”
Differential Growth Responses of Soil Bacterial Taxa to Carbon Substrates of Varying Chemical Recalcitrance (2011, methodology): “Analyzing 16S rRNA gene composition of nucleotide analog-labeled DNA by PhyloChip microarrays, we compare relative growth rates on organic substrates of increasing chemical recalcitrance of >2,200 bacterial taxa across 43 divisions/phyla.”
Characterization of primary biogenic aerosol particles in urban, rural, and high-alpine air by DNA sequence and restriction fragment analysis of ribosomal RNA genes (2007, background): “…studies had been focused on the sequence analysis of DNA from specific groups of organisms, mostly from bacteria or fungi collected at one or two sampling locations (Radosevich et al., 2002; Boreson et al., 2004; Hughes et al., 2004; Maron et al., 2005; Kuske et al., 2006; Brodie et al., 2007).”
Fungal endophyte diversity in coffee plants from Colombia, Hawai'i, Mexico and Puerto Rico (2010, methodology): “A microarray 136 F.E. Vega et al. hybridization technique known as PhyloChip, currently used for the identification of archaeal and bacterial organisms (Brodie et al. 2007; DeSantis et al. 2007) is currently being developed for the identification of fungal diversity (M. Blackwell, pers. comm.).”
EMIRGE: reconstruction of full-length ribosomal genes from microbial community short read sequencing data (2011, positive): “More recently, technologies such as pyrotag sequencing of short hyper-variable regions [2,3], Illumina sequencing of variable tags [4-7], and hybridization to specialized high-density microarrays (for example, Phylochip) [8-10] have accelerated the throughput of SSUbased microbial community characte”
Exploring Microbial Diversity and Taxonomy Using SSU rRNA Hypervariable Tag Sequencing (2008, background): “natural environments: in soils [3–5], air [6] and seas [7–10], on”
Airborne microplastics: Consequences to human health? (2018, positive): “Nonetheless, urban aerosols contain a diverse community of microorganisms and particles could act as a shield protecting them from detrimental UV radiation (Brodie et al., 2007).”
