"<p>The 16S gene contains the genetic information for building the small subunit of the ribosome of bacteria. The ribosome is responsible for building the proteins that are the tools of the cell. Therefore, the 16S gene is very important for the cell, is therefore found in every bacterium and changes only very slowly in the course of evolution. For these reasons, it is very well suited as a fingerprint of a bacterial species, and is used to study the composition of bacterial communities of all kinds.</p>\n"
