Linking 16S rRNA Gene Classification to amoA Gene Taxonomy Reveals Environmental Distribution of Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaeal Clades in Peatland Soils

MSystems, 2021
A highly resolved taxonomy for ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) based on the alpha subunit of ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) was recently established, which uncovered novel environmental patterns of AOA, challenging previous generalizations.

Comparison of 16S rRNA gene amplicon and whole-genome shotgun metagenomic sequencing for subgingival oral microbiome profiling [PDF]

Journal of Oral Microbiology
Background Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by a dysbiotic subgingival microbiome. While 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing is widely used, whole-genome shotgun (WGS) metagenomics is increasingly applied for higher taxonomic and ...

Long-read MinION™ sequencing of 16S and 16S-ITS-23S rRNA genes provides species-level resolution of Lactobacillaceae in mixed communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The Lactobacillaceae are lactic acid bacteria harnessed to deliver important outcomes across numerous industries, and their unambiguous, species-level identification from mixed community environments is an important endeavor.

Diagnostic Yield and Impact on Antimicrobial Management of 16S rRNA Testing of Clinical Specimens

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
16S rRNA gene sequencing is increasingly used in clinical practice for bacterial identification of clinical specimens. However, studies on its applicability to direct clinical specimens are limited. Here, we studied the diagnostic yield and impact of 16S

OTU analysis using metagenomic shotgun sequencing data. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Because of technological limitations, the primer and amplification biases in targeted sequencing of 16S rRNA genes have veiled the true microbial diversity underlying environmental samples. However, the protocol of metagenomic shotgun sequencing provides

Engineering CRISPR/Cas9 to mitigate abundant host contamination for 16S rRNA gene-based amplicon sequencing

Microbiome, 2020
Background High-throughput sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA gene (16S-seq) is a useful and common method for studying bacterial community structures. However, contamination of the 16S rRNA genes from the mitochondrion and plastid hinders the sensitive ...

Amplicon Sequence Variants Artificially Split Bacterial Genomes into Separate Clusters

mSphere, 2021
16S rRNA gene sequencing has engendered significant interest in studying microbial communities. There has been tension between trying to classify 16S rRNA gene sequences to increasingly lower taxonomic levels and the reality that those levels were ...

Molecular cloning of the rRNA genes of Prevotella bryantii B14

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2000
Parts of the rRNA operons of anaerobic rumen bacteria Prevotella bryantii B14 were cloned. 350 colonies carrying pBluescriptII with HindIII DNA fragments were screened with 16S rDNA specific probe and six positive clones were obtained.
