Abstract:The purpose of this project is to identify the time interval during storage in which the greatest change in microbial community within soil samples of varying soil types occur. Three storage conditions, air drying, 4° C, and −20°C will be tested, and DNA extracted from stored soil at time intervals of 0, 1, 2, 4, 7, and 14 days. the extracted DNA will undergo PCR to amplify the v3 region of the 16S rDNA. The PCR product will be processed using Capillary Electrophoresis‐ Single Stranded Conformational Polymorph… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
