Abstract:
A procedure for rapid isolation of genomic DNA from spores of endomycorrhizal fungi is described. Isolation of high molecular weight DNA relies on the lysis of freeze-dried spores and extraction of DNA using mixed alkyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and an excess of proteinase. DNA greater than 30 kb was successfully isolated from Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices, and Glomus etnuicatum using less than 600,000 spores. All DNA preparations were suitable for restriction analysis, hybridizations, and cloning.

DNA from cells is required for many biotechnology and research applications, such as molecular cloning. To remove and purify DNA from cells, researchers use various methods of DNA extraction. While the specifics of different protocols may vary, some general concepts underlie the process of DNA extraction.
01:24DNA Isolation
DNA isolation protocols can be fast and straightforward or complex and time-consuming depending on the type and quality of DNA required for further processing. For example, plasmid DNA extraction is a bit more complicated than genomic DNA extraction because of the need for an appropriate lysis method to separate plasmid DNA from gDNA during isolation. However, for specific applications, such as long-range DNA sequencing that require a good yield of high- quality DNA samples, we need to follow...
