The genome sequence that is labeled as “Lachnospiraceae bacterium 5_1_63FAA” has been included in most microbiome taxonomic profiling software tools, and has therefore appeared in
A short survival guide for microbiologists How are names controlled? Bacterial nomenclature and naming are regulated by the  International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (shortly the
Many genome sequences in public databases are used in metagenomic studies to understand the human microbiome. Unfortunately, many of the taxonomic identities of these genomes
Objectives: Understanding the DNA sequence searching algorithm and difference from the sequence similarity calculation. Please do the followings: Select randomly five 16S sequences from this
Bacterial infection may be caused by either new species or novel genetic variants in known bacteria that cannot be identified by conventional methods. 16S rRNA (16S)
Clostridium clusters XIVa and IV are groups of bacteria that have been known as major players in the human microbiome(Hold et al., 2002;Frank et al.,
In this course, you will learn how to identify bacterial isolates using genome sequence. Please read the following materials first. Bacterial species concept Tutorial on
Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that are thought to provide health benefits when consumed. The most popular probiotic organisms are bacteria belonging to a
What is a species? A species is often defined as a group of individuals that can actually or potentially interbreed in nature. In practice, this
Species-level microbiome analysis using EzBioCloud EzBioCloud 16S database is designed to be best performed for species-level identification even though there is a limitation due to
Microbiome taxonomic profiling (MTP) is a method to elucidate taxonomic composition of the complex microbial community. The currently available and widely used NGS platforms are
In the recent paper (Kim et al., 2015), we evaluated DNA G+C content data obtained by HPLC and thermal melting experiments (Tm) with more accurate
Nucleotide sequence similarity values are widely used for identification and description of novel species among bacterial taxonomists. There are many different algorithms available for calculating
