DNA extraction components
1.Detergent: such as cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) which
disrupts the membranes
2.Chelating agent: such as EDTA which chelates the magnesium ions
required for DNase activity
3.Buffer : which is almost always Tris at pH 8 and a salt such as
sodium chloride which aids in precipitation by neutralizing the
negative charges on the DNA so that the molecules can come together.
4. Chloroform: isoamyl alcohol (24:1), to remove protein
5.Isopropanol : for DNA precipitation.
6.Ethanol: removes salts and other alcohols
DNA extraction protocol
1.Grind mycelium with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide CTAB
buffer (CTAB, Tris-HCL, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
(EDTA), and NaCL) using mortar and pistil.
2.Transferred grinded mycelium into 1.5 mL eppendorf, then
vortexe thoroughly and incubate them at 60°C for 30 min.
3. Add cold chloroform: isoamyl alcohol (24:1), mix well and spin
the samples at 9,000 rpm for 15 min.
4.Add cold isopropanol to the supernatant in a new eppendorf tube
and mix well, then keep at -18°C for 30 min. in order to
precipitate the DNA.
5.Centrifuge at 14,000 rpm for 15 min.
6.Wash the precipitated DNA with 70% ethanol and left to dry in
a laminar flow cabinet.
7.Re-suspended the optained DNA in 50 μL of TE buffer (Tris-HCL
pH 8.0 and EDTA).
