The samples can be prepared for 16S rDNA PCR via direct PCR (using the liquid culture as the template for the PCR reaction) or following DNA extraction. Direct PCR significantly decreases the amount of work needed for preparation, but it can yield poorer Sanger results, both in terms of PCR success and resultant sequence quality. We recommend direct PCR when screening a large number of samples. DNA extraction can then be used for any recalcitrant samples. DNA extraction is significantly more work, but it often generates better Sanger sequences allowing for more accurate identification.
##DNA Extraction
Depending on available equipment, experience, and cost there There are a number of different options for DNA
extraction. The isolation and which one should use depends on many factors including available equipment, experience, and cost. A standard approach in microbiology involves the use of
Phenol-chloroform phenol and chloroform extraction followed by ethanol
precipitation is a microbiology standard, precipitation, and any number of protocols for this
method approach can be found
in books, articles and on the internet.
There are several advantages A common alternative approach is to
using use a commercially available kit
for this purpose, - there are many advantages to such kits - notably ease and lack of
harmful chemicals, but toxic chemicals. A disadvantage of kits is that they typically are more expensive
and per sample than other approaches (especially if one is only doing a few samples since most kits include
reagents materials for at
least a minimum 50
samples. Our lab uses samples). For most projects, we use kits - especially the Promega-Wizard Genomic DNA Purification Kit or the MO BIO-Power Soil DNA Isolation
Kit Kit.
Follow the protocol or kit instructions provided by the manufacturer and then proceed to "PCR reaction" below.
