CAVEAT!!! • Usually we do these procedures with a pure culture • Grow bacteria in broth • Streak on plate • Grow single colony on broth
Microbial DNA Extraction Bridges 2014
Step One: Lysis • Breaking apart the cell • Physical • Vortex • MicroBeads • Chemical • MD1 • SDS • Disrupts membrane and denatures proteins
Step Two: Separation from Debris • Centrifugation • Precipitation of Proteins • More Centrifuging Supernatant Pellet
Step Three: Clean DNA • Bind to spin filter • Salt solution • Silica filter • Wash with ethanol • Inhibits PCR • Elute off of filter
Contamination • It is important when working with bacteria to use sterile technique • Wipe work area, pipets, and pipet boxes with EtOH • Use aerosol filter pipets • Keep tips covered • Change tips • Especially if potentially contaminated • Change gloves often! • Keep tubes closed as much as possible • Do NOT touch inside of tubes • STAY ORGANIZED!
