Aims of the experiment

The aim of today's experiment is to extract genomic DNA from Bacillus subtilis strain 3610,genes from which will be needed for the swarming biobrick.

Materials Required

  • Cells grown from yesterday
  • Centrifuge
  • pipette
  • lysozyme
  • Cell lysis solution
  • RNAse solution
  • protein orecipitation solution
  • ice
  • isopropanol
  • ethanol

Procedure

Cell lysis

  1. Pellet cells by centrifugation at 3600rpm for 10 minutes
  2. Pour off supernatant
  3. Add 0.5ml of cell suspension solution, gently pipet up and down to resuspend and transfer to 1.5ml eppendorf tube
  4. Add 25microlitres of lysozyme and invert 25 times
  5. Incubate for 30minutes at 37°C inverting occasionally
  6. Centrifuge at 13000rpm for 10minutes to pellet the cells then remove the supernatant
  7. Add 0.5ml of cell lysis solution to the cell pellet and gently pipet up and down to lyse the cells
  8. Heat sample for 30 mins mix every 5-10 mins

RNAse treatment

  1. Add 3 microlitres of RNAse A solution to the cell lysate
  2. Mix by inverting 25 times and incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes
