Whole microbial community viability is not quantitatively reflected by propidium monoazide sequencing approach

Abstract Background High-throughput sequencing provides a powerful window into the structural and functional profiling of microbial communities, but it is unable to characterize only the viable portion of microbial communities at scale. There is as yet not one best solution to this problem. Previous...
