Abstract
Effective isolation of high-quality genomic DNA is one of the essential steps in molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetic studies. Here we describe a simplified procedure based on repeated freeze-thawing cycles to isolate genomic DNA from different organisms of microbes (Burkholderia pyrrocinia JK-SH007, Bacillus pumilus HRl0, Botrytis cinerea) and nematodes (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus). The DNA extraction buffer includes 10% of CTAB; 4% of NaCl (W/V); 20mM of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid; 100mM of Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 and 1% of polyvinylpyrrolidone. The released DNA was purified from the mixture using a phenol/chloroform mixture and precipitated in 70% ethanol to remove proteins, carbohydrates, phenols, RNA, etc. Our method is a reproducible, simple, and rapid technique for routine DNA extractions from various microorganisms and nematodes. Furthermore, the low cost of this method could be an economic benefit to large-scale studies.
