---+ 16S rRNA Sequencing to Identify Unknown Microbes

Ever wonder what that contaminant in your culture is? Need to accurately identify an environmental isolate?

---++ PCR Reaction

For PCR we use universal primers U341F and UA1406R that amplify an approximately 1 kb stretch of rDNA and should work for nearly any bacterial or archaeal sequence  [1].
