Abstract:
Functional Gene Array (FGA) is a cutting-edge microarray technology for rapid, sensitive and high-throughput detection of environmental samples. Recently, FGA has been developed to such a degree that more and more researches about the ecology of soil microorganisms have made great use of FGAs. This technology has offered great information about microbial community structure and function in the soil under different circumstances and pollution stress. The development of FGA will be a huge benefit to the understanding of the details of micro-ecological process, functional ecological networks and the prediction of the response of microbial community to environmental stress.
