Accurate Identification of Common Pathogenic Nocardia Species: Evaluation of a Multilocus Sequence Analysis Platform and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]
Species identification of Nocardia is not straightforward due to rapidly evolving taxonomy, insufficient discriminatory power of conventional phenotypic methods and also of single gene locus analysis including 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Substrate-specific clades of active marine methylotrophs associated with a phytoplankton bloom in a temperate coastal environment [PDF]
Marine microorganisms that consume one-carbon (C1) compounds are poorly described, despite their impact on global climate via an influence on aquatic and atmospheric chemistry.

Characterising the Canine Oral Microbiome by Direct Sequencing of Reverse-Transcribed rRNA Molecules. [PDF]
PCR amplification and sequencing of phylogenetic markers, primarily Small Sub-Unit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) genes, has been the paradigm for defining the taxonomic composition of microbiomes.

Species-Specific Identification of Leptospiraceae by 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing [PDF]
ABSTRACT The genus Leptospira is classified into 13 named species and 4 genomospecies based upon DNA-DNA reassociation studies. Phenotypic tests are unable to distinguish between species of Leptospira , and there is a need for a simplified molecular approach to the identification of

SituSeq: an offline protocol for rapid and remote Nanopore 16S rRNA amplicon sequence analysis
Microbiome analysis through 16S rRNA gene sequencing is a crucial tool for understanding the microbial ecology of any habitat or ecosystem. However, workflows require large equipment, stable internet, and extensive computing power such that most of the ...

Amniotic fluid from healthy term pregnancies does not harbor a detectable microbial community [PDF]
Recent studies have conflicting data regarding the presence of intra-amniotic microbiota. Viral communities are increasingly recognized as important although overlooked components of the human microbiota.

Triplicate PCR Reactions for 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing are Unnecessary [PDF]
Conventional wisdom holds that PCR amplification for sequencing should employ pooled replicate reactions to reduce bias due to jackpot effects and chimera formation. However, modern amplicon data analysis employs methods that may be less sensitive to such artifacts.
