Improved molecular strategies to assess<br />

community activity and dynamics<br />

� RNA is a more sensitive marker <strong>of</strong> activity changes<br />

compared to DNA<br />

� Functional gene approach provides information on<br />

the structure <strong>of</strong> certain functional guilds<br />

�Methanogens – mcrA (Methyl coenzym M reductase)<br />

�Acetogens – fhs (Formyltetrahydr<strong>of</strong>olate synthetase)<br />

�Sulfate reduction – dsrAB (Dissimilatory sulfite reductase)<br />

� Cellulase and hydrogenase genes<br />

� …<br />

�Strategy: Study expression <strong>of</strong> functional genes<br />

Combination with flow cytometry, isotope tools,<br />

metabolomics, modeling
