MiDAS 5: Global diversity of bacteria and archaea in anaerobic digesters
Dueholm, Morten Kam Dahl; Andersen, Kasper Skytte; Petersen, Anne-Kirstine C.; Rudkjøbing, Vibeke; Alves, M. M.; Bajón-Fernández, YadiraAnaerobic digestion represents a key biotechnology for the transformation of organic waste into renewable energy (biogas) and relies on complex microbial communities that work in concert to degrade the complex substrates into methane and carbon dioxide. Here, we sequenced more than half a million high-quality, full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences from 285 full-scale anaerobic digesters (ADs) across the world to ...
MiDAS 5: Global diversity of bacteria and archaea in anaerobic digesters
Dueholm, Morten Kam Dahl; Andersen, Kasper Skytte; Korntved, Anne-Kirstine C.; Rudkjøbing, Vibeke; Alves, M. M.; Bajón-Fernández, YadiraAnaerobic digestion of organic waste into methane and carbon dioxide (biogas) is carried out by complex microbial communities. Here, we use full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing of 285 full-scale anaerobic digesters (ADs) to expand our knowledge about diversity and function of the bacteria and archaea in ADs worldwide. The sequences are processed into full-length 16S rRNA amplicon sequence variants (FL-ASVs) and...
Minimizing Errors in RT-PCR Detection and Quantification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA for ...
Ahmed, Warish; Simpson, Stuart; Bertsch, Paul; Bibby, Kyle; Bivins, Aaron; Blackall, Linda; Bofill-Mas, Silvia; Bosch, Albert; Brandao, Joao; Choi, PhilWastewater surveillance for pathogens using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is an effective, resource-efficient tool for gathering additional community-level public health information, including the incidence and/or prevalence and trends of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater may provide an early-warning signal of COVID-19 infections in a comm...
