SOIL METABOLIC ASSESMENT<br />
3. DNA EXTRACTION AND QUANTIFICATION<br />
OBJECTIVE<br />
Use MO BIO protocol to extract DNA of two contrasting soils<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
Use kit MO BIO Catalog # 12800-100 for isolating DNA from 0.25 - 1gm soil samples.<br />
Please wear gloves and avoid all skin contact with protocol materials. In case of accident contact,<br />
wash thoroughly with water and do not ingest. See Material Safety Data Sheets for emergency<br />
procedures in case of accidental ingestion or contact. Reagents labeled flammable should be kept<br />
away from open flames and sparks.<br />
