The determination of microbial communities using the mothur tool suite (https://www.mothur.org) is well established. However, mothur requires bioinformatics-based proficiency in order to perform calculations via the command-line. Galaxy is a project dedicated to providing a user-friendly web interface for such command-line tools (https://galaxyproject.org/).
