Abstract
More and more attention has been paid to filamentous fungal evolution, metabolic pathway and gene functional analysis via genome sequencing. However, the published methods for the extraction of fungal genomic DNA were usually costly or inefficient. In the present study, we compared five different DNA extraction protocols: CTAB protocol with some modifications, benzyl chloride protocol with some modifications, snailase protocol, SDS protocol and extraction with the E.Z.N.A. Fungal DNA Maxi Kit (Omega Bio-Tek, USA). The CTAB method which we established with some modification in several steps is not only economical and convenient, but also can be reliably used to obtain large amounts of highly pure genomic DNA fromMonascus purpureusfor sequencing with next-generation sequencing technologies (Illumina and 454) successfully.
