Abstract:
:The functional mcrA gene of methanogens can generate phylogeny as congruent as the 16S rRNA gene phylogeny. For the mcrA sequences amplified by mlas/mcrA-rev primers, we created a database for taxonomical classification and propose cut-off values for OTU clustering and further analysis of α- and β-diversity with the MOTHUR software.
