Robust sampling and preservation of DNA for microbial community profiling in field experiments

Abstract Objective Stabilising samples of microbial communities for DNA extraction without access to laboratory equipment can be a challenging task. In this paper we propose a method using filter paper disks for the preservation of DNA from diverse microbial communities which are found in a fermente...
