First, this group has provided me a wealth of info over the last 10
years or so... so now I post a question.
In terms of getting the most accurate identification of a bacterium at
species level (medical, plant associated, environmental, etc.... in
general) which system provides the best resolution: Fatty acid
analysis, 16S rDNA sequence analysis (assume full seq.), or Biolog? I
want your opinions... let's remove cost of analysis from the
equation. I have my own opinion... but is it a bias??
Thank you for your contributions!
