I work in Biomining and have a question.

Performed from a liquid culture using molecular identification 16S rRNA is metagenomics?

thank you very much!!

To be very precise, Metagenomics,as defined by Jo Handelsman, is the culture independent cloning and analysis of microbial DNA extracted directly from an environmental sample.

Can I insert sequence (200bp-800bp) in pUC57 plasmid for PCR and qPCR applications??

I have to PCR assays. I want to prepare positive controls with DNA synthetic. But, I'm not sure use pUC57 plasmid. My PCR product are between 200 -800 bp. What other considerations should I have?
