TABLE 1.

Capture and elution efficiencies averaged over different hybridization time^a

Salt condition	Probe	Capture efficiency (%)
Salt condition	Probe	Clean	Soil
High	Gbc.clamp	3^a	30^a
	PNA.1400r	8^a^b	42^a^b
	DNA.1400r	24^b	31^a
Low	Gbc.clamp	100^c	100^b
	PNA.1400r	100^c	48^a^b
	DNA.1400r	ND	ND

Pairwise comparisons of probe conditions were made separately within each column. Letters indicate values within a data column that are statistically similar but are not transferable across columns. Capture efficiencies calculated >100% are reported as 100%, as described in the Discussion. The soil background contained approximately 240 ng of nontarget DNA and 5.8 μg equivalent of soluble soil constituents in 200 μl of lysate. ND, not determined.
