Using Click-Chemistry for Visualizing in Situ Changes of Translational Activity in Planktonic Marine Bacteria

A major challenge in microbial ecology is linking diversity and function to determine which microbes are actively contributing to processes occurring in situ. Bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) is a promising technique for detecting and quantifying translationally active bacteri...
