The comparison of three methods: CsCl gradient, CTAB/CsCl gradient and CTAB miniprep extraction by yield, purity and factors affecting PCR was carried out. In conclusion, CTAB miniprep method provides a rapid, effective, economic approach for isolating genomic DNA for Chinese drug identification by genomic fingerprints.展开更多

The protocol includes collection of saliva in sterile specimen tubes, followed by the cell lysis. After formation of cell lysate, proteins wereextracted by phenol chloroform treatment for purification of DNA. The purified DNA was precipitated by adding equal volume of isopropanol to the treated supernatant. After isolation DNA pellet was washed with 70% ethanol, air-dried and was suspended in 30 pL of double distilled water. Best quality of DNA was extracted from the saliva samples and the PCR product was amplified for hyper-variable regions （HVI＆ HV2） of the mitochondrial DNA. The genes were cleaned with GeneAll gel elution kit （Gel SV） （Cat. No. 102-10） and sequenced accordingly. The DNA isolation protocol presented here is recommended for the isolation, best quality and yield of DNA from the human saliva.展开更多

However, residual humic substances may remain with obtained environmental DNA, which interferes downstream molecular analyses. To remedy this situation, two DNA extraction buffers （PIPES and Tris-HCl） and four purification strategies including our new modified low melting point gel purification method and three commercial kits from QIAEX, Omega and Promega were evaluated with diverse soil samples. The PIPES buffer （pH 6.5） is found to be more effective for removing the humic substances, but it leads to lower DNA yield and causes more severe DNA shearing than using the Tris-HC1 buffer （pH 8.0）. Gel purification and the Promega purification kit achieve much higher DNA recoveries than QIAEX or Omega kit, and higher purity of DNA is obtained by gel purification than by the Promega kit with both DNA extraction buffers mentioned above. Considering all results together, two alternative methods for DNA extraction and purification are proposed： one uses Tris-HCl buffer extraction and gel purification as the primary approach when the amount of soil or biomass is not a major concern, and the other uses PIPES buffer extraction and the Promega kit purification when severe DNA shearing and/or limited biomass occurs. Purified DNA samples by both methods are amenable for use as templates for whole community genome amplifications and PCR amplifications of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. It is demonstrated that these two alternative methods could be applied to a wide variety of environmental samples.展开更多
