An existing bead-beating DNA extraction protocol was employed to compare the DNA extraction recovery and fragment quality of 6 different aeration diffuser biofilms. Escherichia coli, Gordonia amarae,
Here, we have investigated a DNA isolation saponin-based protocol applied to different biological matrices to deplete the released host DNA. The bacterial DNA obtained was used in order to assess the
The objectives are to estimate biases associated with the DNA purification of soils and evaluate the effect of a DNA preservation solution in the composition of the microbial community. To do this, DN
