This procedure is used to extract plasmid DNA from bacterial cell suspensions and is based on the alkaline lysis procedure developed by Birnboim and Doly (Nucleic Acids Research 7:1513, 1979).

-
5. Add 300 uL of Buffer 1 (50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM EDTA, 100 ug/mL RNase A, pH 8.0 ) to each tube and resuspend the cells by vortexing. It's very important that the cell suspension is homogenous and no clumps are visible.
+
'''[[Team:UNICAMP-Brazil/Protocols/SAP Dephosphorylation|9. SAP Dephosphorylation]]'''
-
6. Add 300 uL of Buffer 2 (1% SDS, 0.2 M NaOH ) to each tube. Close the caps and mix the solutions by rapidly inverting them a few times. DO NOT VORTEX since the chromosomal DNA released from the broken cells could be sheared into small fragments and contaminate your plasmid prep.

7. Let tubes stand on ambient temperature for 5 minutes.

-
8. Add 300 uL of ice-cold Buffer 3 (3.0 M Potassium Acetate, pH 5.5 ) to each tube. Close the caps and mix the solutions by rapidly inverting them a few times. A white precipitate will form.

9. Let tubes stand on ambient temperature for 15 minutes.

'''[[Team:UNICAMP-Brazil/Protocols/Preparation of electrocompetent S. cereviseae|13. Preparation of electrocompetent ''S. cerevisiae'']]'''
-
10. Place the tubes in a centrifuge (balanced) and spin at maximum speed for 15 minutes. The precipitate will pellet along the side of the tube.
+
'''[[Team:UNICAMP-Brazil/Protocols/Restriction reaction|14. Restriction Reaction]]'''
-
11. Transfer the supernatants into clean 1.5 mL tubes, being careful not to pick up any of the precipitate. Discard the tubes with the precipitate and KEEP the tubes with the supernatant.
+
'''[[Team:UNICAMP-Brazil/Protocols/pGEMStrategy|15. pGEM cloning strategy]]'''
-
 
+
-
12. To each tube of supernatant add 400 uL of isopropanol to precipitate the nucleic acids. Close the caps and mix vigorously, place them in a centrifuge (balanced) and spin at maximum speed for 10 minutes. This step pellets the nucleic acids but if you leave it around too long, proteins remaining in solution will begin to precipitate as well.
+
-
 
+
-
13. Plasmid DNA pellet may be difficult to see. Carefully remove and discard the supernatant. The pellet is usually visible at this point. If not, do not despair. It may be too small to see but there is probably enough DNA there.
+
-
 
+
-
14. Add 600 uL of absolute ethanol to each tube and mix by inversion several times.
+
-
 
+
-
15. Spin the tubes at maximum speed in a centrifuge for 5 minutes. 
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
16. Carefully remove and discard the supernatant. Try to get as much out as possible without dislodging the pellet of plasmid DNA.
+
-
 
+
-
17. Place the tubes in the fume hood with the caps open for 15-20 minutes to dry off the last traces of ethanol.
+
-
 
+
-
18. When the ethanol is gone (you can check this by smelling the tube) add 20 uL of MiliQ water to dissolve the pellet. Pipet the 20 uL in and out, up the side of the tube to ensure that all of the plasmid DNA comes into contact with the water.
+
-
 
+
-
19. Pool the 20 uL solutions into one labeled tube and  store it in the freezer
