Environmental sample Characterization of specific organisms having the gene Sequencing NA extraction Cloning probes PCR q-PCR DGGE t-RFLP Abundance/ expression of specific gene Relative abundances of groups expressing gene Molecular Approaches: P.W. Inglett
Molecular Approaches: Consortia c, Epifluorescence micrograph after hybridization with the general bacterial probe EUBmix (blue), the specific bacterial probe DBACT-193 (red) and the specific archaeal probe DARCH-872 (green). The bacterial partner is pink, as it hybridizes with both the general and specific bacterial probes. d, Epifluorescence micrograph after hybridization with the general archaeal probe ARCH915 (blue), the specific archaeal probe DARCH-872 (red) and the general bacterial probe EUBmix (green). The archaeal partner is pink because it hybridizes with both the general and specific archaeal probes. Scale bars, 5 m. See Methods for specification of probes. Raghoebarsing et al. 2006.

Coupled Biogeochemical Cycles • Mutual dependency of one cycle on another (feedbacks and controls) or one organism on another (microbes, algae, and vegetation) • Linkages between biogeochemical processes and biotic communities (vegetation, algae, and microbes) • Cycles at different scales (molecular to landscape) P.W.
