| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A novel RNA detection and quantification method using molecular weight cut-off membrane was developed for deciphering microbial population dynamics in environmental biotechnologies. After demonstrating the proof-of-concept of the method, an experimental protocol and an optimization method of hybridization stringency for specific detection were established. Eventually, some members involved in anaerobic wastewater treatment processes were detected and quantified by the originally developed method.
