Elusive Recurrent Bacterial Contamination in a Diatom Culture: A Case Study

Elusive Recurrent Bacterial Contamination in a Diatom Culture: A Case Study

In preparation for whole-genome sequencing, the axenic culture for two strains of a freshwater diatom <i>Fragilaria radians</i> were produced. Although their axenicity was controlled for the cultures’ entire lifetime, the published genomic assembly was later found to contain a large amou...
