Identifying differentially abundant microbes is a common goal of microbiome studies. Multiple methods are used interchangeably for this purpose in the literature. Yet, there few large-scale studies systematically exploring appropriateness using these tools interchangeably, and scale significance differences between them. Here, we compare performance 14 differential abundance testing on 38 16S rRNA gene datasets with two sample groups. We test amplicon sequence variants operational taxonomic...

Abstract Identifying differentially abundant microbes is a common goal of microbiome studies. Multiple methods have been applied for this purpose, which are largely used interchangeably in the literature. Although it has observed that these tools can produce different results, there very few large-scale comparisons to describe scale and significance differences. In addition, challenging researchers know differential abundance appropriate their study how compare one another. Here, we...

Abstract Exposure to microbial contamination through drinking water is a major global health concern. Effective management of quality requires rapid detection equipment. Currently, monitored using time‐consuming laboratory methods, which delay any response. This study demonstrates the development an automated and high‐throughput method for measurement viable biomass in quantification cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The developed was able efficiently accurately quantify ATP multiple...
