What methods can be used to identify chemolithotrophs in 16S data?
I have a large 16S data set, and I am looking to identify which samples have the largest proportion of chemolithotrophs. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how we might be able to identify those taxa which are most likely to be chemolithotrophs.
Thank you

One way to do it is to add 16S rRNA sequences of know chemolithotrophs and non-chemolithotrophs to your data, and build a phylogenetic tree. The sequences from your data that group together with know chemolithotrophs are more likely to be in the same category.
