Soil bacterial and fungal communities across a pH gradient in an arable soil (2010, background): “The application of bar-coded pyrosequencing (Fierer et al., 2008; Hamady et al., 2008) allows for more detailed phylogenetic and taxonomic surveys of microbial communities than provided with other techniques, including PLFA and DNA fingerprinting, while also making it possible to survey a relatively”
Reducing the Effects of PCR Amplification and Sequencing Artifacts on 16S rRNA-Based Studies (2011, methodology): “These have included removing sequences that cannot be taxonomically classified [26], using pairwise sequence alignments instead of a multiple sequence alignment [13], clustering sequences by the average neighbor algorithm instead of the furthest neighbor algorithm [13], using broad OTU definitions [”
Applications of next-generation sequencing to phylogeography and phylogenetics. (2013, background): “…effectively employed in environmental sampling and metagenomics where a single locus is amplified from a sample containing DNA from many organisms (Fierer et al., 2008) as well as for characterizing the major histocompatibility complex where there are many alleles, some extremely rare (Babik et…”
Aligning short reads to reference alignments and trees (2011, background): “One important application of next-generation sequencing methods is in vivo sampling of microbial communities [e.g. in the human gut (Turnbaugh et al., 2008) or on human hands (Fierer et al., 2008)].”
A High-Throughput DNA Sequence Aligner for Microbial Ecology Studies (2009, background): “Because of the difficulty inherent in MSA calculations, investigators have bypassed OTU-based approaches in preference for phylotype-based approaches [3,6].”
Fingermarks, more than just a ridge pattern (2014, background): “Specific bacteria, called the indoleacetic acid producing bacteria, have the ability to convert tryptophan in indoleacetic acid [29-30].”

Examining the global distribution of dominant archaeal populations in soil (2011, background): “With this level of coverage, the full extent of microbial diversity has not been surveyed; however, previous work (Fierer et al., 2008; Jones et al., 2009; Lauber et al., 2009; Miller et al., 2009) has shown that patterns of beta diversity and overall taxon relative abundances of dominant lineages…”
Stochastic and deterministic assembly processes in subsurface microbial communities (2012, methodology): “PCR was conducted following The ISME Journal Costello et al. (2009) and Fierer et al. (2008), and pyrosequencing was carried out on a Roche FLX 454 (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA).”
Defining the Human Microbiome (2012, background): “9% identical to one another in terms of their host genome[13], but can be 80-90% different from one another in terms of the microbiome of their hand[14] or gut[15].”
454 Pyrosequencing reveals bacterial diversity of activated sludge from 14 sewage treatment plants (2011, background): “So far, it has been applied to analyze microbial communities in marine water (Qian et al., 2010), soil (Roesch et al., 2007; Lauber et al., 2009), human hand surface (Fierer et al., 2008), human distal intestine (Claesson et al., 2009), etc.”
