The invention develops a method for
absolute quantification of fungal
population based on a Pacbio three-generation long fragment sequencing platform and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of microbial
amplicon detection. According to the method, the synthesized chimeric
DNA is used as an
internal standard, and a fungal
community in a sample is absolutely quantified on the basis of an
amplicon high-
throughput sequencing platform. The specific method comprises the following steps: directly adding the synthesized chimeric
DNA into an environmental sample; extracting
genome DNA of the environment sample; carrying out high-
throughput sequencing on the ITS full-length sequence of the
fungus through PCR amplification; the high-
throughput sequencing results calculate the relative abundance and absolute abundance of the
amplicon family (e.g., the copy number of fungal ITS per
unit mass sample). A highly complex environmental sample is taken as a
research object to prove that the method can sensitively and accurately quantify the absolute abundance of a specific group. The method is widely applicable to microbial
community analysis of samples from different sources, including environmental samples from soil, samples from
plant tissues, samples from human intestinal tracts, and samples from food samples. The method disclosed by the invention is simple to operate, accurate in detection and wide in application, and has a wide market prospect in identification and analysis of microbial communities.
