Amplicon sequencing allows for simultaneous assessment of inoculation success and responses of indigenous communities after microbial inoculation. However, the presence of a highly dominant taxon may bias correct assessment of communities due to dilution effects, chimera formation, or preferential amplification. Here, we present a simple test to assess these biases.
