I felt the DNA extraction was super effective at extracting DNA from soils. It provided a clean extraction to use in PCR amplification.

Great results, prefer none over this
Soil microbiome
The Quick and easy to use DNA Kits from Zymo Research are simple, cost-effective and gives good results. Other features of these kits include rapid isolation, high quality and purity, technology which different inhibitors such as humic acids, polyphenols and other inhibitors. The extracted DNA is ideal and ready for downstream molecular-based applications such as NGS and other studies.

Excellent product, I am using it for all my experiments.
Analyze bacterial communities
The extraction kit was the best, giving better quality and concentration compared to other commercial kits, as well as being more economical per sample. At the time of sequencing, all samples passed the quality standards.

This kit eliminates two of the most important problems with getting usable DNA preps.
Bacterial DNA purification from diverse samples containing PCR inhibitors: stool, soil, food etc.
PCR inhibitors and particulates are common within fecal and soil samples and can complicate downstream use (in my case, direct Sanger sequencing of PCR product). This kit (available in different capacities - I have used both microprep and miniprep kits) is designed to deal with these problems, by incorporating an initial column to remove particulates and a final column to remove PCR inhibitors. I have used this kit to successfully detect and type bacterial pathogens in stool. But beyond that, the kit has proven ideal for other "messy" samples, including food (poultry, etc.) rinses, food enrichments, and environnmental samples (specifically, listeria and c. diff cultures from environmental sampling tests that incorporate agar and other particulate or PCR inhibitor components). Indeed, several comparisons that I made of DNA preps from complete purifications versus purifications without the final inhibitor-removal column have demonstrated the importance of that final step. I routinely use this kit for DNA preps now, because with diverse samples you never know when an inhibitor might rear its ugly head!

Zymo DNA kits work - the proof is in the PCR.
Soil microbial metabarcoding
We have been users of the Zymo Soil DNA kits for years, first the ZR Soil Microbial DNA Microprep kit (D6003), then the Quick-DNA Fecal/Soil Microbe Microprep (D6012), and most recently the ZymoBIOMICS (Soil) DNA Microprep (D4301). All have been easy to use and consistent in their results. Indeed, when a previous PhD student started her work on metabarcoding from peat, I had her do a side-by-side comparison of the Zymo kit with kits from two other manufacturers, some of which were touted as especially designed for high humic acid samples. The DNAs recovered using the Zymo kits were more consistently PCR-amplifiable than those recovered using the other kits.

The Quick-DNA™ Fecal/Soil Microbe Kits are designed for the simple and rapid isolation of inhibitor-free, PCR-quality host cell and microbial DNA from a variety of sample sources including humans, birds, rats, mice, cattle, etc. The procedure is easy and can be completed in minutes: fecal samples are rapidly and efficiently lysed by bead beating with our state of the art, ultra-high density BashingBeads™. Zymo-Spin™ column technology is then used to isolate the DNA which is subsequently filtered to remove humic acids/polyphenols that can inhibit PCR. Eluted DNA is ideal for downstream molecular-based applications including PCR, arrays, genotyping, methylation detection, etc.
