16S/18S/ITS Sequencing

16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing is a targeted molecular method used to identify, classify, and compare bacteria, archaea, fungi, and other eukaryotes within complex microbial communities.

Key Applications:

• Microbial Ecology: Profiles community diversity, population structures, and relative abundance across environmental samples like soil, water, and air.

• Clinical Diagnostics: Detects bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections and analyzes the human microbiome (e.g., gut, skin, or oral flora) when traditional culture methods fail.

• Agriculture & Animal Husbandry: Monitors soil health, plant-microbe interactions, and the gut health of livestock.

• Environmental Monitoring: Assesses bioremediation efficacy, wastewater treatment microbial dynamics, and ecosystem responses to pollution.
