Bacterial strains included in the Zymo mock community
| Species | GC Content (%) | 16S Copy # |
|---|---|---|
| Pseudomonas aeruginosa | 66.2 | 4 |
| Escherichia coli | 46.7 | 7 |
| Salmonella enterica | 52.2 | 7 |

The species and 16S copy number of each of the eight bacterial strains included in the Zymo mock community are listed. Note that the two yeast strains included in the mock community were omitted, as yeasts are not amplified by our sequencing protocol. This information is adapted from Table 2 in the Technical Protocol for the ZymoBIOMICS™ Microbial Community DNA Standard (D6305).
