The use of real-time qPCR in environmental microbiology is a novel and
potentially powerful application of molecular biology to environmental
science. The high degree of accuracy and robustness of the real-time qPCR
technique combined with the advantages of high throughput and reduced
assay costs make this method invaluable for the analysis of microbial
populations.
