cutadapt works the same on any type of DNA sequence data — it is agnostic to marker gene.
Are you sure you have the primers in your reads? E.g., if you used the EMP format the primers are not found in the reads because the PCR primers are also used as the sequencing primer. I recommend checking out the fastq to make sure.
Use three backtick characters ("```") before and after all code blocks to display "preformatted text" (or click on the formatting button at the top of the text box that looks like this: </> and type your text inside).
