Single molecule detection has been achieved via many highly sophisticated microscopic techniques. Here we describe the detection of single molecules with conventional epifluorescent microscopy. The key to the technique is the use of DNA dendrimers DNA dendrimers have demonstrated utility in nucleic acid blots, Southerns, Northerns, etc. Typically DNA dendrimers yield 50-100 fold gain in signal over comparably labeled oligonucleotides. Immunodendrimers, DNA dendrimers conjugated to antibody molecules, have also been constructed and utilized in western blot assays. Individual, i.e. single molecule, 4- layer dendrimers, are readily detectable as point sources via conventional fluorescence microscopy and are useful for in situ hybridization and flow fluorescence quantitation.Nucleic acid hybridization is the underlying principle behind DNA dendrimer assembly. The “monomer” of DNA dendrimers consists of partially double stranded heteroduplexed DNA. Each monomer has an approximately 50 base double stranded “waist” surrounded by four approximately 30 base single stranded “arms”.

Bioavailability is herein defined as the accessibility of a substrate by a microorganism. Further, bioavailability is governed by (1) the substrate concentration that the cell membrane “sees,” (i.e., the “directly bioavailable” pool) as well as (2) the rate of mass transfer from potentially bioavailable (e.g., nonaqueous) phases to the directly bioavailable (e.g., aqueous) phase. Mechanisms by which sorbed (bio)surfactants influence these two processes are discussed. We propose the hypothesis that the sorption of (bio)surfactants at the solid-liquid interface is partially responsible for the increased bioavailability of surface-bound nutrients, and offer this as a basis for suggesting the development of engineered in-situ bioremediation technologies that take advantage of low (bio)surfactant concentrations. In addition, other industrial systems where bioavailability phenomena should be considered are addressed.
