Baseline extractions of spore and vegetative cell DNA from water. Two dilution series containing 108, 106, and 104 spores of B. subtilis and equivalent vegetative E. coli cells were processed using the standard extraction protocol. Water extractions of spore DNA remained consistent throughout the dilution series. In contrast, extractions of vegetative cell DNA decreased with cell concentrations (standard error shown, n = 3).
