Evaluating long-term stool preservation methods for maximizing the recovery of viable human fecal microbiota

This study evaluates cryopreservation methods for stool samples to maintain viable microbiota, finding that simple methods like glycerol preservation and snap-freezing are as effective as more complex protocols.

A novel barcoded nanopore sequencing workflow of high-quality, full-length bacterial 16S amplicons for taxonomic annotation of bacterial isolates and complex microbial communities

This paper introduces a nanopore sequencing workflow for high-quality, full-length 16S rDNA amplicons to identify bacterial isolates and profile microbial communities, showing high agreement with MALDI-TOF and strong correlation with Illumina sequencing.
