Microorganisms are the most diverse group of organisms and play
important and distinctive roles in their ecosystems. They interact
with their peers and other organisms (e.g., plants, animals) to
form a complicated food web, significantly impacting ecosystem
functions and services. However, understanding the diversity,
composition, structure, function, activity and dynamics of
microbial communities remains challenging. Over the past decade,
microarray-based technologies have been developed to address such
challenges. Written by expert authors this book is focused on
current microarray technologies and their applications in
environmental microbiology. In the first chapter microarray
technologies and applications are briefly introduced and in
following chapters microarray probe design, development and
evaluation, and data analysis are described in detail. In later
chapters, more attention is paid to phylogenetic arrays (e.g.,
PhyloChip) and functional gene arrays (e.g., GeoChip). These
generic tools for analyzing microbial communities from disparate
environments, ecosystems, and habitats including soil, water,
sediment, animals and humans, are described in detail with examples
of specific applications. Also included are microarrays for
analyzing microbial communities from specific environments, such as
soil, bioleaching ecosystems, and human microbiomes, and
microarrays for detecting specific microorganisms (e.g., pathogens)
in the environment. The authors also discuss the advantages and
limitations of microarray technologies compared to high throughput
sequencing technologies. This book is a valuable and useful source
of information about microarrays for microbial community analysis
and is recommended for anyone working on microbial communities,
biofilms or environmental microbiology.
