We are in the process of extracting bacterial DNA from water samples using QIAMP DNA mini kit. However, we could not see any visible bands on agarose gel after 16s hypervariable region  amplification.

Can anyone suggest a protocol for sample preparation prior extraction? How can we get rid of inorganic matter dissolved in water with equipment/ methods available in a general laboratory?

Thanks
