In Topic: Primer for identification of yeast (ITS or 18Sr RNA gene)

03 July 2012 - 05:26 PM

Yeast is actually eukaryotic organimsms which does not has the 16S rRNA gene. The variability of 18S rRNA gene is always not sufficient for a good identification of fungus, ITS region will provide a better means for identification. But i am not sure can i omit 18S rRNA gene and only sequence the ITS region.

The yeast i mean here is not restricted to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it can be Candida, Pichia,

Kluyveromyces

and etc....
