microbial communities in pre-columbian coprolites. | the study of coprolites from earlier cultures represents a great opportunity to study an "unaltered" composition of the intestinal microbiota. to test this, pre-columbian coprolites from two cultures, the huecoid and saladoid, were evaluated for the presence of dna, proteins and lipids by cytochemical staining, human and/or dog-specific bacteroides spp. by pcr, as well as bacteria, fungi and archaea using terminal restriction fragment analyses. dna, proteins and lipids, and human-specific bacter ... | 2013 | 23755194 |
