DNA isolation from Alaskan gelisol.
Bacterial genome copy numbers were determined for DNA that was extracted from 250 mg soil samples derived from active and permafrost layers of Alaska gelisol using the NucleoSpin 96 Soil kit in comparison with a competitor kit from MoBio. Far more bacterial DNA was extracted with the NucleoSpin 96 Soil kit using the combination of Buffer S1 and Buffer SX than with the competitor kit.
DNA isolation from spruce peat
Bacterial genome copy numbers were determined for DNA that was extracted from 500 mg samples of spruce peat using the NucleoSpin 96 Soil kit in comparison with a competitor kit. Far more bacterial DNA was extracted with the NucleoSpin 96 Soil kit using Buffer S1 (with or without SX) than with the competitor kit.
