Abstract |
This study compares how different DNA extraction methods influence the quantity and quality of DNA yields from stream epilithic biofilms. Interpretations of bacterial community structure, using ARISA, revealed increased variability among samples processed using commercially-available kits, which also yielded lower DNA concentrations than other methods tested. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 March 2016.
All research outputs
#18,447,592
of 22,856,968 outputs
Outputs from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#1,622
of 2,029 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#86,523
of 96,267 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#7
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,856,968 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,029 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 96,267 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
