Abstract
To determine the significance of differences between clonal libraries of environmental rRNA gene sequences, differences between homologous coverage curves,CX(D), and heterologous coverage curves,CXY(D), were calculated by a Cramér-von Mises-type statistic and compared by a Monte Carlo test procedure. This method successfully distinguished rRNA gene sequence libraries from soil and bioreactors and correctly failed to find differences between libraries of the same composition.Keywords
