Sampling Constraints and Variability in the Analysis of Bacterial Community Structures in the Sea Surface Microlayer

Sampling Constraints and Variability in the Analysis of Bacterial Community Structures in the Sea Surface Microlayer

The sea surface microlayer (SML) is a thin surface film located at the interface between oceans and the atmosphere. In this study, three SML samplers—polycarbonate membrane (PC), glass plate (GP), and drum sampler (DS)—were used to collect microbiological DNA samples for molecular analysis. Among th...
