Approaches to prokaryotic biodiversity: a population genetics perspective.

Abstract excerpt

The study of prokaryotic diversity has blossomed during the last 10-15 years as a result of the introduction of molecular identification, mostly based on direct 16S rRNA gene polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing from natural samples. A large amount of information exists about the diversity of this specific gene. However, data from the field of bacterial population genetics and genomics...
