This review provides a state-of-the-art description of the performance of Sanger cycle
sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene for routine identification of bacteria in the clinical …

The plant endosphere contains a diverse group of microbial communities. There is general
consensus that these microbial communities make significant contributions to plant health …

Microorganisms in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are essential for water purification
to protect public and environmental health. However, the diversity of microorganisms and …

Amplicon sequencing has revolutionized our ability to study DNA collected from
environmental samples by providing a rapid and sensitive technique for microbial …

The human gut microbiota produces dozens of metabolites that accumulate in the
bloodstream,, where they can have systemic effects on the host. Although these small …

Metagenomics and marker gene approaches, coupled with high-throughput sequencing
technologies, have revolutionized the field of microbial ecology. Metagenomics is a culture …

Abstract Background The 16S rRNA gene is used extensively in bacterial phylogenetics, in
species delineation, and now widely in microbiome studies. However, the gene suffers from …

The microbial communities inhabiting the root interior of healthy plants, as well as the
rhizosphere, which consists of soil particles firmly attached to roots, engage in symbiotic …

Since the first two complete bacterial genome sequences were published in 1995, the
science of bacteria has dramatically changed. Using third-generation DNA sequencing, it is …

Oscillospira is an under‐studied anaerobic bacterial genus from Clostridial cluster IV that
has resisted cultivation for over a century since the first time it was observed. In recent years …
