Extraction of Prokaryotic Genomic DNA from Marine Microbial Communities Suitable for Amplification Using the Polymerase Chain Reaction
Abstract We present a method for extraction of DNA from marine microbial communities and amplification of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene from the prokaryotic organisms contained therein. Results of cloning, sequencing and phylogenetic analyses are also presented. This DNA extraction technique...
