Survival of κ-carrageenan-encapsulated and unencapsulated Pseudomonas aeruginosa UG2Lr cells in forest soil monitored by polymerase chain reaction and spread plating [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 1995 A method was developed for direct extraction, purification and amplification of DNA from forest soil. Eighty-two % of the DNA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa UG2Lr introduced into soil was recovered. The detection limit for the strain was approximately 800 cfu g−1 of dry soil based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
