Key Points

  • The aim is to explore microbial diversity in benthic microbial mats from Fraternidad Lagoon using an indirect DNA extraction method.
  • Applied an indirect DNA extraction method on microbial mats
  • Sampled during both rainy and dry seasons
  • Analyzed DNA for metabolic and diversity insights
  • High molecular DNA quality obtained from the extraction
  • Showed diverse microbial profiles during different seasons
  • Contributed to understanding of early Earth ecosystem analogs

Abstract

Microbial mats are biofilm formations that reflect early Earth ecosystems. To investigate their microbial diversity, an indirect DNA extraction method was applied to benthic ephemeral microbial mats from Fraternidad Saltern Lagoon during rainy and dry seasons. This approach yields high molecular DNA, suitable for metabolic and diversity analysis.
