When we talk about intestinal bacteria or dietary fiber, we often hear about "short-chain fatty acids". So what exactly are short-chain fatty acids? Based on the number of carbon atoms in the carbon chain, fatty acids with less than 6 carbon atoms are commonly referred to as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), those with 6 to 12 carbon atoms are called medium-chain fatty acids, and those with 12 or ...
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes is a method that is widely used to detect and quantify microorganisms in environmental samples and medical specimens by fluorescence microscopy. Difficulties with FISH arise if the rRNA content of the probe target organisms is low, causing dim fluorescence signals that are not detectable against the background ...
