So you want to run FACS on your microbiome samples… By Cara Pardon Although optimized for eukaryotic cell research, an increasingly common technique used in the microbiome field is Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). From sorting cells for single cell genomics to identifying the host range of a plasmid; from detecting metabolically active cells in …
OK so this is based on a press release so it should be taken with a grain of salt and such. But it is interesting, and gross too, and about microbiology of the built environment.
