319 DNA Pyrosequencing and Soil Microbial Diversity

Oral Session
S03 Soil Biology & Biochemistry
DNA pyrosequencing is a new tool for characterizing microbial diversity in soils and other environmental samples. The goal of this session is to describe the use of pyrosequencing and to highlight insights from recent pyrosequencing studies of soil-derived DNA.
