Simultaneous amplicon analysis of multiple soil samples using MinION sequencing
The diversity and composition of soil microorganisms needs to be understood as they influence ecosystem processes. MinION is a relatively recent next-generation sequencer, which provides the advantage of sequencing long reads. In this study, two types of soil were prepared experimentally to investig...

The diversity and composition of soil microorganisms needs to be understood as they influence ecosystem processes. MinION is a relatively recent next-generation sequencer, which provides the advantage of sequencing long reads. In this study, two types of soil were prepared experimentally to investigate the possibility of simultaneously analyzing multiple environmental samples using MinION. The MinION sequencing of amplicons was adjusted by the different rounds of PCR performed. Soil fungi and bacteria were compared using ITS and 16S rRNA amplicons, respectively. For ITS, the number of reads available for MinION sequencing were simply increased by performing two PCRs and purification using Agencourt AMPure XP. However, the effect of performing PCR twice was not high for 16S rRNA. Therefore, performing PCR twice appears to be effective for analyzing ITS regions. Regarding the number of reads obtained using MinION sequencing, clustering the same sample was possible if a read of ∼2000 bases or more was obtained in 16S rRNA and ITS. Further, information on 80 samples was obtained by performing only one round of MinION sequencing.
