TI - A Simple Silica-based Method for Metagenomic DNA Extraction from Soil and Sediments KW - METAGENOMIC DNA KW - MICROBIAL COMMUNITY KW - SEDIMENTS KW - SOILS KW - DGGE N2 - A new method is described for extraction of metagenomic DNA from soil and sediments which is based on DNA adsorption to silica without the use of phenol, ethanol precipitation or a cesium chloride gradient. Highquality DNA was obtained, and PCR inhibition was overcome by adding bovine serum albumin and adjusting magnesium concentration. By using PCR-DGGE with Firmicutes and lactic acid bacteria-specific primers the extracted metagenomic DNA was shown to contain a mixture of bacterial genomes. This method can be used for screening bacterial diversity in soil and sediment samples UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uGN7ygfoHLFfEf6Vcm_zY69fIX3Tt5Ex/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
