Environmental DNA surveillance for invertebrate species: advantages and technical limitations to detect invasive crayfish Procambarus clarkii in freshwater ponds. (2014, background): “Conversely, adsorption of DNA to mineral or organic matters may enhance its preservation in bottom sediments (Levy-Booth et al. 2007), and attention was paid in our study to avoid sampling subsurface sediments that could have led to the detection of ancient DNA fragments (false positive) in ponds.”
Persistence of Environmental DNA in Freshwater Ecosystems (2011, background): “It may also be transformed by competent soil microorganisms, or may be degraded (see [19] for a comprehensive review).”
Sedimentary eDNA provides different information on timescale and fish species composition compared with aqueous eDNA (2020, background): “Additionally, several studies have reported that sediments reduce biologically driven DNA decay by adsorbing both DNases and DNA molecules and in low-oxygen environment such as deeper sediment (Levy-Booth et al., 2007; Pietramellara et al., 2009).”
Relic DNA is abundant in soil and obscures estimates of soil microbial diversity (2016, methodology): “1); and (3) our own laboratory experiments also showed insignificant penetration into exponentially growing E.”
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.”
Ecology and exploration of the rare biosphere (2015, background): “…all detected OTUs in catalogues of microbial communities is that many of the environmental OTUs detected will be derived from extracellular nucleic acids, or from material that has been extracted from dead cells, thus providing little or no metabolic contribution to community function 155 , 156 .”
RNAi-Based Insecticidal Crops: Potential Effects on Nontarget Species (2013, background): “DNA from crop plants can persist in the soil for as little as 7 days but for as long as many years (Levy-Booth et al. 2007, Nielsen et al. 2007).”
Active microorganisms in soil: Critical review of estimation criteria and approaches (2013, background): “DNA is universally present in both active and inactive microorganisms (Levy-Booth et al., 2007).”
Experimental observations on the decay of environmental DNA from bighead and silver carps (2017, background): “The binding affinities of DNA to sediment moeities such as clays, humic acids, and fulvic acids are influenced by pH, with generally greater binding affinities at lower pH (Levy-Booth et al. 2007).”
Extracellular DNA in soil and sediment: fate and ecological relevance (2009, background): “The purine and pyrimidine content of DNA may affect its enzyme degradation in soil (Levy-Booth et al. 2007).”
Optimised scat collection protocols for dietary DNA metabarcoding in vertebrates (2017, background): “This was exacerbated by dirt, whichmay increase the degradation of extracellular DNA (Levy-Booth et al. 2007).”
The ecology of environmental DNA and implications for conservation genetics (2016, background): “Presumably, eDNA transitions over time from intracellular to extracellular, and indeed considerable knowledge exists on the various ecological processes driving this transition (Levy-Booth et al. 2007).”
