Abstract
A quantitative fingerprinting method, called the real-time terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (real-time-t-RFLP) assay, is developed for simultaneous determination of microbial diversity and abundance within a complex community. The results indicate that the real-time-t-RFLP assay can be a powerful molecular tool for learning about microbial communities in various engineered systems and natural habitats.
