Isolation, DNA Extraction, Amplification, and Gel Electrophoresis of Single-Celled Nonmarine Foraminifera (Rhizaria)

Molecular tools are an important part to study the phylogeny and taxonomy of foraminifera. In the present chapter, isolation and extraction of these single-celled organisms will be described. Furthermore, the amplification of the 18S barcoding fragment in foraminifera and detection of amplified products by agarose gel electrophoresis will be detailed.
