Water temperature-dependent degradation of environmental DNA and its relation to bacterial abundance.

Water temperature-dependent degradation of environmental DNA and its relation to bacterial abundance.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is DNA shed by organisms into surrounding environments such as soil and water. The new methods using eDNA as a marker for species detection are being rapidly developed. Here we explore basic knowledge regarding the dependence of the eDNA degradation rate on time and water te...
