Solutions to be Prepared Beforehand

  • 5ml Lysis Buffer


A. Method B – Mehling et. al (1995) a. 0.5‐1.0 g of cells are resuspended in 5mL lysis buffer (see below) b. Incubate for 30‐80 min at 37C c. Add 500uL of 5M NaCl solution d. Agitate the suspension on a vortex mixer until the cell suspension becomes translucent e. Lyse cells by adding 1.2 mL of 10% SDS, mix thoroughly f. Incubate lysates for 15‐30 min at 65C g. Add 2.4mL of 5M phosphate acetate h. Mix by vortexing i. Leave on ice for a minimum of 20 min (not much longer than) j. Remove precipitate by centrifugation for 30 min at 6000 rpm. Pour supernatant into clean tube. k. Adjust volume of the supernatant to 8mL using isopropanol (about 1 mL each)‐Recover DNA by precipitation l. Mix and incubate tubes at ‐20C for 30 min m. Pellet DNA at 20,000 x g for 15 min n. Pour off supernatant, let pellets dry for 10 min o. Dissolve precipitate in 700 uL of 50 mM Tris/10mM EDTA (pH 8.0) p. Transfer the solution to an eppendorf tube (1.5 mL microfuge tube), Spin off insoluble substances (10 min) q. Transfer aqueous phase to a 1.5mL microfuge tube r. Add 75uL 3M sodium acetate and 500uL isopropanol s. Mix Well and centrifuge solution for 30s to 2 min t. Wash pellet with cols 70% ethanol, dried and dissolved in 100uL TE (10mM Tris/1mM EDTA, pH=8.0), or distilled H2O – let pellet dry at least 40 min before adding the TE buffer. B. Lysis Buffer a. 25mM Tris b. 25mM EDTA, pH 8.0 c. 10‐15 mg Lysosyme d. 50ug/mL RNaseA
