16S rDNA-Seq: SSB consortium
The community analysis of the SSB-consortium was conducted through a 16S microbiota study. The V3 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified by PCR using the V3-388F and V3-533R primers and Illumina adapters in the MiniSeq System (Illumina, Inc.) under standard conditions (300 cycles, 2x150 pair-end).
