An efficient strategy for screening large cloned libraries of amplified 16S rDNA sequences from complex environmental communities.
We propose a strategy for the efficient screening of large libraries of amplified 16S rRNA genes from complex environmental samples. It consists of processing sets of multiple clones simultaneously. This strategy saves up to 90% of the costs and labor spent in the process of screening a 16S rDNA library.
