Sequence-Based Characterization of Microalgal Microbiomes: Impact of DNA Extraction Protocol on Yield and Community Composition
Line Roager, Eva C. Sonnenschein, Lone Gram
Abstract
Microalgae are very important as primary producers in the ocean, but also as forthcoming sustainable producers of biotechnologically interesting compounds. Accordingly, the bacterial microbiomes associated with microalgae are attracting increasing attention due to their effects on the growth and health of microalgae.
