The identification of microorganisms by fluorescence in situ hybridisation

R Amann et al. Curr Opin Biotechnol. 2001 Jun.

Abstract

Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes facilitates the rapid and specific identification of individual microbial cells in their natural environments. Over the past year there have been a number of methodological developments in this area and new applications of FISH in microbial ecology and biotechnology have been reported.
