Robust ribodepletion with the Ribo-Zero Plus Microbiome Depletion kit. The Ribo-Zero Plus Microbiome Depletion kit effectively depletes rRNA (5S, 16S, and 23S) levels for human and bacterial species in a single-tube reaction. Results are compared to Ribo-Zero Plus rRNA Depletion Kit and a commercially available ribodepletion kit from Company X. Two stool mixtures were tested. Sample 1 is a mixture containing both adult and infant human stool samples, while Sample 2 is a commercially available stool sample from Zymo (Cat no. 6331).
