Combined PCR-DGGE fingerprinting and quantitative-PCR indicates shifts in fecal population sizes and diversity of Bacteroides, bifidobacteria and Clostridium cluster IV in institutionalized elderly.

TL;DR: The composition of microbiota in the elderly comprises a less diverse subset of young healthy microbiota, which might result in the development of specifically targeted supplementation for elderly citizens in order to support healthy ageing.

Culture free DGGE and cloning based monitoring of changes in bacterial communities of salad due to processing
TL;DR: The monitoring strategy presented in this paper, combining DGGE analysis with the construction of clone libraries, is an attractive method for culture-independent monitoring of changes of bacterial communities in the food chain.

TL;DR: Comparisons of expression patterns of relevant genes in oral mucosa of omnivores and vegetarians provide further insight into the association of a changed fat metabolism and reduced collagen synthesis in vegetarians, which could also play a role in the aging process.

DGGE-fingerprinting of arable soils shows differences in microbial community structure of conventional and organic farming systems
TL;DR: Soil samples analysed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and shotgun cloning indicated that the genetic structure of the soil microflora was spatially homogeneous and group specific DGGE analysis produced simpler band patterns and facilitated the detection of differences between soils.

Molecular investigation of the influence of oral fed Lactobacillus reuteri on the gut microbiota of HIV-infected infants : A pilot study
TL;DR: Molecular PCR-DGGE seems to be a promising tool for the investigation of the influence of probiotic treatment and differences in the Lactobacillus gut communities between patients and healthy persons.
