Main group population analysis

Generation of a cultivation-independent profile of all bacteria in the sample. Abundant bacteria are sorted according to their relationship to the most important main bacteria groups. These groups are ascertained quantitatively as percentage of the living bacteria flora. Not only known cultivable bacteria are detected but also so far unknown non-cultivable bacteria are sorted into existing main bacterial groups. Additionally the total cell amount (living and dead) is carried out. This service is ideal for generating a population profile of bacteria and archaea in a sample nondirectionally and without cultivation-dependent selection pressure.

The report contains a significant photo documentation that visualises the bacteria populations in the sample material.
