Effect of DNA extraction methods and sampling techniques on the apparent structure of cow and sheep rumen microbial communities.

Molecular microbial ecology techniques are widely used to study the composition of the rumen microbiota and to increase understanding of the roles they play. Therefore, sampling and DNA extraction methods that result in adequate yields of microbial DNA that also accurately represents the microbial c...
