Dear Professors and researchers,
I am working in rumen methane mitigation using plant compounds. One of my aim is to quantify Ruminococcus albus, R. flavefaciens, Fibrobacter succinogens, methanogens and protozoa using qPCR. Except protozoa I use total bacteria (16sRNA) for normalization. My question is how can I normalize total protozoa population since it is 18sRNA.
Relative quantification = 2- delta CT (Target)- delta CT(Control)
