Bacteria are the most abundant and diverse organisms on the planet, taking part in innumerable critical ecosystem processes. Many bacterial species are pathogens, responsible for a variety of diseases. Besides the medical and ecological importance, bacteria are irreplaceable in many industrial applications like production of enzymes and biofuels. AkrivisBio’s Bacterial Genomic DNA Isolation Kit provides a simple step-by-step method for isolating high-quality genomic DNA from gram-negative or gram-positive bacteria. First, enzyme action releases DNA from the cell, which is then adsorbed onto silica in the presence of high salt, obviating the need for toxic organic compounds or solvents. DNA isolated using this kit is suitable for a variety of applications, including PCR, cloning, DNA hybridization, and Southern Blotting.
