How to use an Oxford Nanopore MinION to extract DNA from river water and determine which bacteria live in it / Sample collection

As you would expect, not much secret here, we just dumped a 1 liter glass bottle with a rope attached around the neck in a few different locations of the river, and pulled it out with the rope.
And, in the name of science, we even wore gloves to not contaminate the samples!
