Simple and rapid method for direct extraction of microbial DNA from soil for PCR. Cullen, D., W. & Hirsch, P., R. Soil Biology & Biochemistry, 30(8-9):983-993, 1998. abstract bibtex A simple and rapid procedure for direct extraction of DNA from soils was developed to yield DNA of a high purity and quality suitable for amplification using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Go-extracted humic material from soil was a major contaminant of DNA and methods were devised to overcome this problem. Oligonucleotide PCR primers were designed to detect and monitor a genetically-modified (GM) Rhizobium leguminosarum by, vicine strain RSM2004 (marked with Tn5) which had become established in Rothamsted field soils. The key steps of the procedure were alkaline-SDS buffer assisted lysis of indigenous soil bacteria in a bead-beater and the purification of extracted DNA by separate PVPP and Sephadex G-75 spin-column chromatography. The mean yield from Rothamsted soil was 25 +/- 1.7 mu g crude DNA g(-1) wet soil (i.e. 20 mu g g(-1) dry soil), sheared to fragment sizes of about 22-25 kb. The recovered DNA was easier to purify and of a higher quality, as verified by PCR amplification of a 442 bp target sequence of Tn5, than DNA extracted by a hot-SDS lysis method. The detection limit was demonstrated to be one culturable cell of RSM2004 (i.e. a single copy of Tn5) 10 mg(-1) soil against a background of 10(7) diverse non-target bacteria.
