formosanus populations for this marker making it ideal for diagnostics. Comparison of nucleotide sequence of mitochondrial rRNA 16S was used to design polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers specific ...

Primers and oligonucleotide probes ... In recent years, the sequence of the 16S rRNA gene has been used to detect and identify bacterial infection in clinical practice (1), but many of the ...

Using this type of approach, microbial species that have been identified as important members of communities by 16S rRNA survey sequencing or metagenomic approaches can be isolated and sequenced.
