In-situ Microbial Community Assessment
In the Environment < 1.0 to 0.1% of the in-situ microbial community is detected using Isolation and Classical Plate
Count
Many non-culturable organisms can be infectious (VNCB), isolation can take days, lose insight into community
interactions & physiology Two Complimentary Biomarker Methods:
DNA: Recover from surface, Amplify with PCRusing rDNA primers , Separate with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), sequence for identification and phylogenetic relationship. Great specificity
Lipids: Extract, concentrate, structural analysisQuantitative, Insight into: viable biomass, community composition,Nutritional-physiological status, evidence for metabolic activity
Cathedral from a Brick Predict impact of Cr contamination (from 50-200,000 ppm) on soil microbial community by artificial neural network (ANN) analysis
DNA is “non compressible” ~ perfect code not so influencedBy microniche conditions as cell membranes PLFA is compressible as contains physiological status input Contains “holistic’ information & responds to perturbations Predict it is a Cathedral or a Prison : DNA a perfect brick PLFA a non-linear mixture of bricks and a window
Signature Lipid Biomarker Analysis
Phospholipid Fatty Acid [PLFA] Biomarker Analysis = Single most quantitative, comprehensive insight into in-situ microbial community

LIPID Biomarker Analysis
1. Intact Membranes essential for Earth-based life
2. Membranes contain Phospholipids
3. Phospholipids have a rapid turnover from endogenous phospholipases .
4. Sufficiently complex to provide biomarkers for viable biomass, community composition, nutritional/physiological status
5. Analysis with extraction provides concentration & purification
6. Structure identifiable by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry at attomoles/uL (near single bacterial cell)7. Surface localization, high concentration ideal for organic
SIMS mapping localization
