Comparison of relative taxon abundances using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (NGS) and species-specific qPCR from five full-scale gas biodesulfurization installations. The results represent the average value per full-scale biodesulfurization installation for each of the target species that was positively detected. Error bars represents the standard deviation of technical duplicates. Amplicon sequence data are modified from Kiragosyan et al. 2019
