Microbial 16S rRNA Ion Tag and community metagenome sequencing using the Ion Torrent (PGM) Platform

► 'Post light' DNA sequencer producing analyses in 8 hours with low reagent costs ► Scalable chip based sequencing ranging from 100,000 to 1,000,000 + reads ► Multiplex 16S rRNA analyses developed and demonstrated in anaerobic digesters. ► Novel covered anaerobic ponds dominated by Bacteroidia, Synergistia and Clostridia.
