Does a Barcoding Gap Exist in Prokaryotes? Evidences from Species Delimitation in Cyanobacteria

The amount of information that is available on 16S rRNA sequences for prokaryotes thanks to high-throughput sequencing could allow a better understanding of diversity. Nevertheless, the application of predetermined threshold in genetic distances to identify units of diversity (Operative Taxonomic Un...
