In PRIMER, is it possible to downweight certain taxa in multivariate community datasets to reflect uncertainty around identification??

I have a dataset with about 80 different species. As usual, some species are very easy to identify with certainty whereas others are more difficult, which means that I am less certain of my...

I don't think there is any specific primer for each Trichoderma Species. However, you can use ITS or translation elongation factor 1- α conserved primers and sequence the amplified segment. Then use the ISTH site to BLAST the sequence and find out the exact species.

ITS and TEF1 should work perfect.
