Detection of microbial taxa in complex communities : impacts of relative abundance, gene transfer and persistence of target DNA

The aim of this study was to understand the ecological interactions of B. pseudomallei, a highly pathogenic potential biological warfare agent, in both soils and bio-aerosols. This study examined the impact of DNA persistence on its detection in environmental samples. The potential for members of th...
