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

open access: yesmSystems, 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.

Dumpster diving for diatom plastid 16S rRNA genes

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
High throughput sequencing is improving the efficiency of monitoring diatoms, which inhabit and support aquatic ecosystems across the globe. In this study, we explored the potential of a standard V4 515F-806RB primer pair in recovering diatom plastid 16S rRNA sequences.

Microbial communities in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated wastewater lagoon sediments: PCB congener, quantitative PCR, and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing datasets

open access: yesData in Brief, 2021
The potential for aerobic and anaerobic microbial natural attenuation of PCBs in freshwater sediments is described by PCB congener, quantitative PCR, and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing datasets generated, in duplicate, from 27 sediment samples ...

Reconstructing 16S rRNA genes in metagenomic data [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 2015
Abstract Metagenomic data, which contains sequenced DNA reads of uncultured microbial species from environmental samples, provide a unique opportunity to thoroughly analyze microbial species that have never been identified before. Reconstructing 16S ribosomal RNA, a phylogenetic marker gene, is usually required to analyze the composition

Phylogenetic Clustering of Soil Microbial Communities by 16S rRNA but Not 16S rRNA Genes [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACT We evaluated phylogenetic clustering of bacterial and archaeal communities from redox-dynamic subtropical forest soils that were defined by 16S rRNA and rRNA gene sequences. We observed significant clustering for the RNA-based communities but not the DNA-based communities, as well as increasing clustering over time of the highly ...

A renaissance for the pioneering 16S rRNA gene [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Microbiology, 2008
Culture-independent molecular surveys using the 16S rRNA gene have become a mainstay for characterizing microbial community structure over the past quarter century. More recently this approach has been overshadowed by metagenomics, which provides a global overview of a community's functional potential rather than just an inventory of its inhabitants ...

Amplicon Sequence Variants Artificially Split Bacterial Genomes into Separate Clusters

open access: yesmSphere, 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 ...

Virtual metagenome reconstruction from 16S rRNA gene sequences [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2012
Microbial ecologists have investigated roles of species richness and diversity in a wide variety of ecosystems. Recently, metagenomics have been developed to measure functions in ecosystems, but this approach is cost-intensive. Here we describe a novel method for the rapid and efficient reconstruction of a virtual metagenome in environmental microbial ...

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

open access: yesMicrobiome, 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 ...
