Test Details

  • Multiple gene markers for animal (4), plant (4) and microbial (6) taxonomic identification
  • Utilizes an unbiased DNA extraction method that captures DNA from most bacteria, fungi and protozoa
  • Optimized DNA extraction method according to the sample type including water, benthic and sediment samples
  • Utilizes sequencing information from variable regions covering over 90% of the 16S rRNA gene for bacterial diversity
  • Utilize sequencing information from the Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) including ITS1 and ITS2 regions and other markers for fungi, mold and yeast diversity.
  • The generated analysis reports the detected microbial diversity at different taxonomic levels (Order, Family, Genus and Species levels)
  • Min sample amount required: 500-1000 mL
  • Turn-around time: 7-10 business days after the receipt of the sample
