16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, Microbial diversity of private well water using nanopore sequencer

We aimed to understand the bacterial community structure in water from private wells located in different environments in Japan, using full-length 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing on the MinION sequencer. The results of this study provide fundamental data for potential new microbiological quality assessment methods, and new bacterial targets for assessing the quality of well water.
