Summary:Fingerprinting techniques such as denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis continue to be popular tools to track differences in microbial community composition over time and space. FISH analysis was used to compare the microbial communities of lab-scale reactors treating domestic and vegetable oil wastewaters with similar nitrogen removal but lower COD removal for the vegetable oil wastewater (Flapper et al., 2007).
