Miller, Robert V. 1992. Overview: Methods for the Evaluation of Genetic Transport and Stability in the Environment. In: Microbial Ecology: Principles, Methods, and Applications. Morris A. Levin, Ramon J. Seidler, and Marvin Rogul, Editors. McGraw-Hill, New York, NY. Pp. 141-159. (ERL,GB X749).
A summary of evaluation techniques that are now available for genetic elements and suggestions on their application to environmental studies are presented. Many systems described are models for environmental study and may not exactly reproduce the in situ situation. They often represent compromises between the controlled atmosphere of the laboratory and the uncontrolled conditions encountered in nature. These systems are presented as guides for development of experimental protocols to address questions of environmental importance in specific ecosystems. |
