Metagenome from Cocoa Bean Fermentation, 24 hours
After extracting the DNA, we quantified it using the Qubit system from Invitrogen and then analyzed it in an agarose gel to ensure its quality was sufficient for the next steps. Once we confirmed the DNA's quality, we proceeded with library preparation using the Nextera DNA Flex Library Preparation Kit from Illumina. To sequence the libraries, we sent them to Macrogen in Korea, who used the Illumina Hiseq X system.
