A comparative study of microbial diversity and community structure in marine sediments using poly(A) tailing and reverse transcription PCR

To obtain a better understanding of metabolically active microbial communities, we tested a molecular ecological approach using poly(A) tailing of environmental 16S rRNA, followed by full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis and sequencing to eliminate potential biases caused by mismatching of...
