16S Metagenomics Services
16S Metagenomics Services in India
Scientist-guided 16S metagenomics for microbial community profiling in life-science, environmental, food, aquaculture and research projects. From sample and DNA scope through sequencing and diversity analysis, Manna Biotech helps turn a complex microbial community question into documented, interpretable results.

What's included
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Study and sample scoping
Clarify the sample matrix, research question and comparison groups before sequencing, so the data can answer a meaningful question.
DNA extraction pathway
Discuss whether samples need DNA extraction or whether quality-checked extracted DNA is ready for the agreed sequencing workflow.
16S library preparation & sequencing
Plan the sequencing workflow for bacterial community profiling as part of an agreed, research-focused 16S scope.
OTU / ASV analysis
Generate community-level abundance and taxonomic outputs through an appropriate documented bioinformatics workflow.
Diversity and composition interpretation
Use diversity metrics and community-composition outputs to investigate the comparisons defined in your study plan.
Research-ready data handover
Receive the agreed data outputs, figures and methods documentation so the work can be reviewed, interpreted and reported responsibly.
Related services
Choose the microbial-analysis path that fits your question.
Whole genome sequencing
Choose WGS when the research question needs isolate or strain-level genome characterisation rather than community profiling.
Bioinformatics & NGS analysis
Use the analysis service for existing 16S, metagenomics or other sequence data that needs a documented workflow.
Molecular testing & diagnostics
Explore focused PCR, microbial identification, food authenticity and molecular testing routes for a defined sample question.
Program options
Multiple tracks. One tailored plan for you.
16S metagenomics is quoted to your study design and sample context. We confirm the appropriate route before accepting samples or data.
16S scope review
Define the sample matrix, comparison question and an appropriate research path before submission.
DNA to community profile
An agreed workflow from sample or extracted DNA through sequencing and core community-analysis outputs.
16S data analysis only
For teams with existing sequence data that need a documented analysis and interpretable outputs.
Custom microbiome research support
A project-specific plan for more complex research objectives or sample sets.
Fee Structure
Start with the biological question, not just a sequencing order.
A useful microbiome project begins with the sample matrix and the comparison you need to make. We scope the workflow around that question, then define the agreed outputs and quote before work starts.
- Research-question review before sequencing is planned
- Defined analysis outputs for diversity, composition and reporting
- Scientist-guided handover of the agreed data and methods
This service is offered for research, R&D and internal quality-monitoring use. It is not a clinical diagnostic or statutory testing service.
FAQ
Common questions.
What is 16S metagenomics used for?+
16S metagenomics is used to profile bacterial community composition and diversity in research samples. It is useful when the question is about the community as a whole rather than a single isolate.
Can Manna Biotech work with extracted DNA?+
Yes. Tell us whether you have samples or extracted DNA when you enquire. We review the scope and confirm the appropriate route before work begins.
What analysis outputs are available?+
The exact deliverables are agreed during scoping. They can include taxonomic community outputs, OTU or ASV analysis, diversity metrics, figures and methods documentation matched to the research question.
Can you analyse 16S data generated elsewhere?+
Yes. Use the Bioinformatics & NGS Analysis service for existing sequence data that needs a documented analysis, interpretation support and reporting-ready outputs.
Is 16S metagenomics a clinical diagnostic service?+
No. Manna Biotech provides 16S work for research, R&D and internal quality-monitoring use, not as a clinical diagnostic or statutory report.
Get started
Tell us what microbial community you need to understand.
Share the sample type, research question, approximate sample count and whether you already have extracted DNA. We will confirm the right service scope and sample guidance before work begins.
