Hello colleagues,

I have a collection of microalgae isolates in mono-algal culture (non-axenic), but I have not been able to eliminate the bacterial and fungal contaminants despite treatment with antibiotics.

My question is as follows: Can I perform a DNA extraction and PCR to identify my microalgae isolates despite the presence of contaminating DNA from bacteria or mycetes? If so, what pair of primers should I use.

Thank you in advance.
