e0“Interfering factors for the 16 s rDNA amplifications, such as the type of template, direct and nested PCR, proportion of chloroplast DNA from a tropical plant source (Virola officinalis), and biased-amplification by the primers resulted in altered bacterial 16S rDNA amplification, both on MBCs and V. officinalis leaf-extracted DNA”

- Method / resource The theoretical maximum fragment counts did not differ significantly between in silico and in vitro cuts.
- Method / resource Primer preferences varied with mock community composition.
- Method / resource Actual digestion detected 2.3 to 8.2 times fewer OTUs than theoretical data.
- Method / resource The final bacterial amplification profile was much simpler than the expected detectable fragments.
