A large proportion of "universal" 16S PCR primers lack sequence homology to many of the "candidate" divisions, severely limiting bacterial diversity assessments. We designed a primer set that offers a 50% increase in silico in coverage of the domain Bacteria over the commonly used primer combination 27F/519R. Comparisons using pyrosequencing on soil environments showed a significant increase in recovery of taxonomic diversity with around a 3-fold increase in recovery of sequences from candidate divisions.
大量的“通用”16S PCR 引物缺乏与许多“候选”分类单元的序列同源性,严重限制了细菌多样性评估。我们设计了一套引物,与常用的引物组合 27F/519R 相比,在计算机模拟中对细菌域的覆盖率增加了 50%。使用焦磷酸测序对土壤环境进行比较的结果表明,候选分类单元的序列回收量增加了约 3 倍,分类多样性的回收量也显著增加。
