美国BIOLOG公司独家研发的产品 ECO板，特别为微生物群落分析和生态研究设计，Eco板上包含国际土壤微生物学家精选的用于微生物群落分析最常用的31种碳源，是国际上微生物生态功能多样性研究的最典型和最权威方法之一。

 

每块96孔ECO板上有3组平行，每组31种碳源，3个阴性对照，加入同一样品后，可以获得3组平行数据。微生物群落对这31种碳源的特征性利用称作该微生物群落的代谢指纹图谱。从单个的微平板上的指纹图谱就可以获得大量的代谢信息。可用于纯种及混合菌群(如土壤样品)微生物功能多样性研究。

 

31种碳源可分为六大类，具体如下：

 

单糖\糖苷\聚合糖类

B2， D-木糖

H1, a-D-乳糖

A2, ?-甲基D-葡萄糖苷

G2,葡萄糖-1-磷酸盐

E1, a-环状糊精

F1, 肝糖

G1, D-纤维二糖

 

氨基酸类，

A4，L-精氨酸，

B4，L-天冬酰胺酸

C4    L-苯基丙氨酸

D4,   L-丝氨酸

E4，L-苏氨酸

F4，甘氨酰-L-谷氨酸

 

酯类

B1, 丙酮酸甲酯

C1, 吐温40

D1, 吐温80

A3, D-半乳糖酸γ内酯

醇类

C2, I-赤藻糖醇

D2, D-甘露醇

H2, D,L-a-甘油

 

胺类

G4, 苯乙基胺

H4, 腐胺

E2, N-乙酰基-D-葡萄胺

酸类

B3,D-半乳糖醛酸

F2 D-氨基葡萄糖酸

C3, 2-羟苯甲酸

D3, 4-羟基苯甲酸

E3,r-羟基丁酸

F3, 衣康酸

G3,a-丁酮酸

H3, D-苹果酸

 

 样品简单处理后(过滤或离心)，取上清液加到ECO板上培养多至5天时间，每隔一定时间用酶标仪在590nm和750nm下测定OD值，OD值的大小反应样品微生物利用某一碳源底物的能力，将OD值导出后进行分析，如AWCD值(平均吸光度)、丰富度、单孔的动力学分析、不同类碳源的比较等，并可用聚类软件对不同样品进行聚类分析。

 

值得一提的是ECO板不仅测定可培养微生物，还可测定部分不可培养微生物，只要微生物能利用碳源进行代谢(并不增殖)，ECO板上显色体系均可检测出来。

 

最常见的应用是利用ECO板分析环境因素、根系、叶面、肥料、农药对土壤微生物菌群的生态功能多样性的影响，比较不同样品间或同一样品不同时间的功能多样性差异，比较环境修复前后微生物群落的功能多样性差异，等等。

ECO相关的中英文文献多达数千篇，请在各大搜索网站查找“ECO板”或其它关键词。
