, The demand for molecular analysis of aquatic microbial communities in freshwater has highlighted the need for efficient methods of DNA extraction. The centrifugation method and filtration-membrane method are 2 widely used methods for extracting DNA. The objective of this study was to compare the extraction efficiency of 3 methods, including the centrifugation method, filtration-membrane method, and modified filtration-membrane method, by evaluating the quantity and purity of DNA extracts obtained from water.
