Benchmarking DNA Metabarcoding for Biodiversity-Based Monitoring and Assessment (2016, background): “Constituting a significant fraction of the total DNA (Dell’Anno and Danovaro, 2005; Pietramellara et al., 2009; Torti et al., 2015), it is assumed that the taxonomic composition of the free DNA present in the environment reflects the biodiversity of the sample (Ficetola et al., 2008), which would…”
Erratum to The chemical and functional characterization of soil N and its biotic components (2009, background): “These cell constituents affect the adsorption and persistence of extracellular DNA by clay minerals (Pietramellara et al., 2009).”
Culture-independent molecular tools for soil and rhizosphere microbiology (2013, background): “misleading as extracellular DNA can be adsorbed on soil particles where its integrity can be maintained [189] Microbial activity profiles, based on actual metabolic activity are therefore more likely to reveal important microbial ecosystem functions.”
Mechanisms and ecological implications of the movement of bacteria in soil (2018, background): “Secondly, it may have a role in biofilm formation (Pietramellara et al., 2009).”
Uses and Misuses of Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Science and Conservation (2018, background): “The term extracellular DNA was first adopted to refer to DNA released by prokaryotic cells (and to some extent also eukaryotes) into the environment (Pietramellara et al. 2009, Ibáñez de Aldecoa et al. 2017).”
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soils (2010, methodology): “…own limitations, starting from obtaining representative samples (e.g., DNA extraction is usually based on samples of less than a gram) and quantitative extraction of the molecules from the soil matrix (RooseAmsaleg et al. 2001; Caldwell 2005; Bakken and Frostegard 2006; Pietramellara et al. 2009).”
Environmental DNA (2012, background): “Total eDNA contains cellular DNA originating from living cells or organisms, and extracellular DNA (Levy-Booth et al. 2007; Pietramellara et al. 2009) resulting from natural cell death and subsequent destruction of cell structure.”
Relic DNA is abundant in soil and obscures estimates of soil microbial diversity (2016, methodology): “Conversely, it is unlikely that our approach removed DNA from living cells because (1) studies have shown the effects of PMA on intact microbial cells are minimal and PMA primarily targets extracellular DNA or DNA from cells that are no longer intact4,16,18,19; (2) our own tests confirmed PMA treatm”
The ecologist's field guide to sequence‐based identification of biodiversity (2016, background): “Total eDNA from soil contains both cellular DNA and extracellular DNA (Pietramellara et al. 2009).”
