A 16S rDNA PCR-based theoretical to actual delta approach on culturable mock communities revealed severe losses of diversity information

Abstract Background Subunits of ribosomal RNA genes (rDNAs) characterized by PCR-based protocols have been the proxy for studies in microbial taxonomy, phylogenetics, evolution and ecology. However, relevant factors have shown to interfere in the experimental outputs in a variety of systems. In this...
