Microbial diversity in freshwater samples and their contaminating human and bovine hosts

2017-05-25

Abstract excerpt

DNA extracted from feces (human and bovine) and water samples was used for the massive pyrosequencing of the hypervariable V3 region of the 16S rRNA gene, revealing 4296 operational taxonomic units (OTUs). The greatest diversity was observed in samples of cattle feces, and the smallest diversity was found in a pristine water sample. Firmicutes was the predominant group in samples of human feces, while in bovine f...
