...Therefore, a general strategy for sample processing could be recommended for metagenomic studies in the future, in which multiple microbial groups are processesed separately by using single micro-droplets, cell-free translation systems and cell-sorting (‘‘single-cell genomics’’) and integrate this data with those obtained using mixed microbial communities ( Huson et al. 2007; Lasken 2007; Ishoey et al. 2008)....

...To circumvent the variability of factors affecting data processing, the overall goals of a metagenomic project have to be balanced with the diversity and structure of the community, allowing an estimation of the necessary amount of sequence to reach a desired assembly depth (Johnson and Slatkin 2006; Huson et al. 2007 )....
