Comparison of metagenomic and cultured bacteria datasets.
Root-associated pyrotag reads and Sanger 16 rRNA sequences from rhizospheric isolates (Both amplified with F515-R806 primers) were compared by BlastN. The figure represents the percentage of all root-associated (RA) pyrotags that showed >97% similarity to at least one 16S rRNA sequence of the cultured bacteria. Based on the definition and biological basis of clustering in OTU-97%, we considered these hits as sequences from closely related species, often presenting similar phenotypes, metabolisms and life styles.
