2 antibody controls detection method

Immunocytochemistry harnesses antibodies that are specific reagents and which allow unique detection of proteins and molecules. Using antibodies requires specific methods, labels, and controls. Performing immunocytochemistry experiments requires some basic knowledge of biology. 

The performance of a biotreatment system ultimately depends on optimization of the activity of microbes and the ability to control the process parameters of the treatment system [157]. In this respect, the ability to monitor gene copy numbers and gene expression is highly useful for real time optimization of the efficiency of a biotreatment system. Advanced molecular techniques as well as low cost methods (e.g., antibody detection of enzymes based on color reaction strips fluorescence i.e., GFP marked organisms with UV light detection) can also be applied to monitor the microbial community structure, persistence of the added bacteria, and their interactions with indigenous populations.
