Abstract:
Enterococci target sequence density estimates from analyses of diluted river water DNA extracts by EPA Methods 1611 and 1609 and estimates with lower detection limits from undiluted DNA extracts by Method 1609 were indistinguishable. These methods should be equally suitable for comparison with U.S. EPA 2012 Recreational Water Quality Criteria values.
