Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) is one of the most important and commonly used techniques in studies of microbial molecular ecology. DGGE has been widely used in the analysis of community structures and biodiversity of bacteria, cyanobacteria, archaea, miniature eukaryotes, eukaryotes, and viruses. This technique can be used for the reliable analysis of multiple samples at the same time. It is suitable for the surveillance of microbial population changes over both space and time, and is used to probe microbial community compositi...
