Nostochopsis spp. are a type of cyanobacteria which form mucilaginous balls. These cyanobacteria have a high content of polysaccharides, which makes it difficult to isolate their genomic DNA by the conventional method. In this research study, six protocols for improvement of DNA extraction from this...
