Strengths and limitations of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing in revealing temporal microbial community dynamics.

Strengths and limitations of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing in revealing temporal microbial community dynamics.

This study explored the short-term planktonic microbial community structure and resilience in Lake Lanier (GA, USA) while simultaneously evaluating the technical aspects of identifying taxa via 16S rRNA gene amplicon and metagenomic sequence data. 16S rRNA gene amplicons generated from four temporal...
