Abstract:

Microbial mats are biofilm formations that reflect early Earth ecosystems. To investigate their microbial diversity, an indirect DNA extraction method was applied to benthic ephemeral microbial mats from Fraternidad Saltern Lagoon during rainy and dry seasons. This approach yields high molecular DNA, suitable for metabolic and diversity analysis.

DNA Isolation

DNA Isolation

DNA isolation protocols can be fast and straightforward or complex and time-consuming depending on the type and quality of DNA required for further processing. For example, plasmid DNA extraction is a bit more complicated than genomic DNA extraction because of the need for an appropriate lysis method to separate plasmid DNA from gDNA during isolation. However, for specific applications, such as long-range DNA sequencing that require a good yield of high- quality DNA samples, we need to follow...
