Abstract
Microorganisms can respond fast to the environmental changes, and well suited for environmental assessment. DNA and RNA are generally extracted by extraction kits. After extraction, molecular biological methods including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics are applied to characterize the genetic and functional diversity of microorganisms. Quantitative PCR, FISH and mass sequence of amplicons are also described. This review provides environmental engineers and microbiologists an overview of important advancements in molecular techniques and highlights the application of these methods in diverse environments.
