Extraction of bulk DNA from Thar Desert soils for optimization of PCR-DGGE based microbial community analysis

A reliable method for characterizing microbial communities on the basis of their differences in the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences in the hot arid zone sandy soils has been optimized. A desert plant (Calligonum polygonoides) was chosen to provide the rhizospheric soil samples, collected fro...
