Abstract excerpt
The description of microbial diversity by molecular culture-independent techniques most often involves the amplification of the 16S rRNA by PCR gene and either analysis of the diversity of amplified molecules (community fingerprinting) that allows the simultaneous study of many samples or the cloning and sequencing of a significant amount of amplification products. The fact that between the 16S and the 23S genes...
