Influence of the Microbial Community on eDNA Degradation in Experiments Across Physicochemical Conditions in Seawater. Seawater from eDNA persistence experiments

This study aims to determine how the microbial community affects the degradation of environmental DNA (eDNA) in seawater across a series of eDNA persistence experiments conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. The study investigates the role of the microbial community and its influence on eDNA degradation across temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen concentration.
