Protocols and examples of DNA isolated from various samples
Sample preparation for DNA extraction from bacteria
Use bacteria cells from overnight culture after centrifugation and discarding the media, or colonies from a culture plate. Use 107-109 cells or 5-20 mg of culture.
To the right is a graph showing DNA extraction from 4 different samples of bacteria using Swagene Universal DNA kit and measured by a nanospectrophotometer.
Sample preparation for DNA extraction from yeast
Use yeast cells from overnight culture after centrifugation and discarding the media, or colonies from a culture plate. Use 107-108 cells or 5-20 mg of culture for DNA isolation.
To the right is a graph showing DNA extraction from 4 different samples of yeast using Swagene Universal DNA kit and measured by a nanospectrophotometer.
Sample preparation for DNA extraction from fungi
Use fungal cells from culture after centrifugation and discarding the media, or colonies from a culture plate. Use 107-108 cells or 5-10 mg of culture.
Sample preparation for DNA extraction from mushroom
Use 5-20 mg of mushroom for DNA isolation .
To the right is a graph showing DNA extraction from 4 different samples of mushroom using Swagene Universal DNA kit and measured by a nanospectrophotometer.
Sample preparation for extraction of DNA from plant (leaf, rice, potato)
Grind 5-20 mg leaves or rice or potato in a mortar and pestle in the presence of liquid nitrogen or after cooling it on dry ice. Use 5-20 mg of ground leaves for DNA isolation.
Below are the graphs showing DNA extraction from 4 different samples of leaf (left), 3 different samples of rice (middle) and 4 different samples of potato (right) using Swagene Universal DNA kit and measured by a nanospectrophotometer.
