  4. bDGGE banding patterns indicated that 75 % of the population belonged to γ-proteobacteria, while with FISH analysis, using specific probes developed to target the dominant γ-proteobacteria in the DGGE banding pattern, showed that 35 % of the population stained positive for these γ-proteobacteria
  5. cFISH analysis revealed that β-proteobacteria were dominant, comprising about one-third of the sludge
