Results from the massively
parallel pyrosequencing.
The sediment DNA was analyzed by multiplexed massively
parallel pyrosequencing, generating 441,523 reads comprising 161 million base pairs in total (Table S2).
Because < 20 % of all gastrointestinal bacteria can be cultured using conventional methodologies, we performed massively
parallel pyrosequencing to further assess the qualitative changes in the intestinal microbiome following alcohol exposure.

The team employed a new, massively
parallel technique called
pyrosequencing, which uses pulses of light to read the sequence of thousands of bases at once.
DNA samples are prepared from microbial specimens, and then analyzed using massively
parallel sequencing methods such as 454 / Roche
pyrosequencing [20].
