Red Layer Microbial Observatory Methods – UNDER CONSTRUCTION Using Microbial Diversity and Biotechnology to Enhance Learning

National Science Foundation Western Oregon University Yellowstone National Park Waksman Foundation

Introduction

Our big web-project for 2005-6 is to centralize all methods used in this project to this page, combining general user/public-friendly introductions with technical print-outs about each method – and some examples of data. The first installment of this under-construction project was made on Aug. 5, 2005 and includes water chemistry and basic DNA methods. Enjoy and please feel free to provide feedback.
