That should work just fine, we've been close to 1ng/uL. Just keep in mind that you might miss some low abundant taxa.

We routinely use the DNeasy Qiagen Powersoil for sediment samples. In the past, together with a QiaCube(96 samples), but this struggled a lot with lower biomass samples. So we switched to the Qiagen EZ2, which only does 24 samples per time but the yields are a lot more similar to manual extractions.

Then @kassipan.bsky.social from Wageningen University showed her PhD work to expand the genome diversity in the PVC superphylum, finding multiple phylum-level lineages and opening a door to investigating the cool cellular features in this phylum.
Way to go, Kassi! #ProudSupervisor
