Natural Bacterial Communities Serve as Quantitative Geochemical Biosensors

Natural Bacterial Communities Serve as Quantitative Geochemical Biosensors

Biological sensors can be engineered to measure a wide range of environmental conditions. Here we show that statistical analysis of DNA from natural microbial communities can be used to accurately identify environmental contaminants, including uranium and nitrate at a nuclear waste site. In addition...
