Improved genome recovery and integrated cell-size analyses of individual uncultured microbial cells and viral particles
Abstract
Single-cell genomics can be used to study uncultured microorganisms. Here, Stepanauskas et al. present a method combining improved multiple displacement amplification and FACS, to obtain genomic sequences and cell size information from uncultivated microbial cells and viral particles in environmental samples.
