Bacterial and Fungal Identification
Common methods used for identifying bacterial and fungal strains are 16S rRNA gene sequencing and Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequencing respectively. These highly conserved regions are standard tools used to construct bacterial and fungal phylogenies and taxonomies. Azenta Life Sciences, formerly Azenta offers pre-developed PCR assays that cover essential regions within the 16S rRNA gene and the ribosomal ITS region used for amplification and Sanger sequencing of clonal samples.
