Abstract excerpt
Comprehensive evaluation of microbial diversity in almost any environment is now possible. Questions such as "Does the addition of fiber to the diet of humans change the gastrointestinal microbiota?" can now be answered easily and inexpensively. Tag-encoded FLX-amplicon pyrosequencing (TEFAP) has been utilized to evaluate bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, as well as functional genes. Using the new tag-encoded...
