Rare Plankton Subcommunities Are Far More Affected by DNA Extraction Kits Than Abundant Plankton

Advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies allow a more complete study of microbial plankton community composition and diversity, especially in the rare microbial biosphere. The DNA extraction of plankton is a key step for such studies; however, little is known about its influences on the a...
