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 />
