Methods for the production of lipids and biofuels with a culture ofspp. grown on a medium such as wastewater or sewage sludge are provided. Thespp. may be cultured with additional microorganisms that contribute to the accumulation of lipids from the growth medium such as Zoog!oea spp.,spp.,spp.,spp., ODI genera incertae sedis. Further discloses are transformed organisms comprising genes isolated from, as well as methods and processes for producing lipids, fatty acids, or biofuels in vitro using the protein products of the isolated genes.

Isolated genes and transgenic organisms for producing biofuels

Some embodiments of the invention include a method of preparing a sample for sequencing that includes receiving a sample and amplifying at least one marker within the sample. In some embodiments, amplification of the first marker may include mixing the sample with a first oligonucleotide that comprises a first universal tail sequence and a second oligonucleotide that comprises a second universal tail sequence. In some aspects of the invention, the first universal tail sequence and the second universal tail sequence are different sequences.
