Genomic DNA

Reagent:
Genomic DNA

Default Quantity:
100 µg

Strains available:
H37Rv and Clinical isolate CSU93 (KY/TN 95-031551, CDC 1551)

Production system:
The bacilli are grown to late-log phase (day 14) in glycerol-alanine-salts (GAS) medium and harvested by centrifugation. Cell lipids are removed by chloroform/methanol (2:1) extraction in an equal volume of Tris-EDTA buffer. Delipidated cells are exposed to lysozyme and RNase overnight followed by SDS and Proteinase K treatment. Genomic DNA is isolated from contaminating proteins using organic extraction. To remove polysaccharide contaminants, DNA is precipitated with isopropanol and stored at 4°C as a dry pellet.

Notes:
Quality control for this reagent includes agarose gel electrophoresis and spectrophotometric analysis
