Ancient Microbes from Halite Fluid Inclusions: Optimized Surface Sterilization and DNA Extraction

Fluid inclusions in evaporite minerals (halite, gypsum, etc.) potentially preserve genetic records of microbial diversity and changing environmental conditions of Earth's hydrosphere for nearly one billion years. Here we describe a robust protocol for surface sterilization and retrieval of DNA...
