Coated and uncoated CLT blocks were exposed to wetting events and surface samples were collected over a 4-month period. Blocks were contained in individual microcosms to eliminate contamination from other sources while controlling ventilation, temperature and humidity conditions. An empty microcosm was sampled to serve as a "control" and tap water samples were also collected. After collection, samples were treated with propidium monoazide and genomic DNA was extracted using MagMAX Microbiome Ultra Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit. Libraries were constructed using Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation Kit and sequenced at the Genomics & Cell Characterization Core Facility at University of Oregon.
