(Quality is sufficient for RE Digestion and for sequenzing reaction, outcome is around the double of a normal alkaline lysis)
DAY 1:
Inoculate 3-5ml of LB conaining the correct antibiotic
(Amp for overnight liquid cultures is usually 100mg/ml)
from a single colony, and incubate overnight.
DAY2:
1. Transfer 1.5ml of the culture to
an eppendorf tube and spin down for 10'' at maximum speed. Remove the supernatant
by aspiration and leave the tubes inverted on a
kimwipe for
sometime.
2. Resuspend the bacterial pellet in
350ml STET-solution. Be sure to resuspend
completly.
3. Add 25ml
of a 10mg/ml Lysozym in 10mM TrisCl, ph 7.5. Vortex and led stand on ice
for five minutes.
4. Boil the mixture for a short while,
I usually do it for 90''. Immediatly transfer the tubes to the centrifuge
and centrifuge for 15-20'.
5. Take out the white gummy pellet
(sometimes it has a fluffy appearance in which case you had some infection.
No need to continue) with a sterile toothpick.
6. Add 40 ml
Sodiumacetate (2,5M, pH 5,2) and 420 ml Isopropanol,
mix by vortexing and centrifuge for 20' at 4oC.
A huge white pellet wiil appear, no worry, this is normal.
7. Wash the pellet with 70% Ethanol
( -20oC is better,
but roomteperature will do).
8. Resuspend the pellet in 50ml
TE suplemented with 10mg/ml DNAsefree RNAse
A. Have Fun doing whatever you want with this DNA, if you want to use it
directly in
delicate things,
I would suggest a Phenol/CHCL3 extraction
and than it should perform pretty well in any application tou can think
of.
STET Solution:
-0.1M NaCl
-10mM TrisCl (pH 8.0)
-1mM EDTA (pH 8.0)
-5% Triton X-100 (v/v)
