Archaea domain in Taxonomy Bar Plot

01 January 1970 1 1K Report

In taxonomy bar plot, I have some Archaea domains while I used bacterial 16S rRNA primer sets. How possible to justify it?

Frank R Burns

Many 16S primers will amplify some of Archea taxa, but are not usually as inclusive across the Archea as they are across bacteria (see https://mbio.asm.org/content/mbio/8/6/e00824-17.full.pdf )
