“…Currently, macroarrays, i.e., hybridization using as support a membrane of nitrocellulose or nylon, allows for a higher cost-benefit in routine analysis than the much more expensive and elaborate microarray platform. In this context, an effort has been made in the last decade to develop macroarrays for detection/identification of various microorganisms, as demonstrated for a large variety of targets including bacteria pathogenic on potato (Fessehaie, De Boer, & Lévesque, 2003), phytopathogenic Pseudomonas (Vieira et al, 2007), Lactobacillus species (Poltronieri, D'urso, Blaiotta, & Morea, 2008), Pythium species (Tambong, De Cock, Tinker, & Lévesque, 2006) and Aeromonas spp (Khushiramani, Girisha, Karunasagar, & Karunasagar, 2009), among others.…”
