Isolation of Yeast Genomic DNA

Isolating genomic DNA from yeast involves culturing the microbe, harvesting the cell, enzymatically removing the cell wall, lysing the protoplast, and finally separating the DNA from the other cell debris.
Materials that you need are:

Yeast culture-prepared previously

Spectrophotometer with cuvettes

50 mM EDTA, pH 8-ice cold

50 mM Tris, pH 9.5, 2% 2-mercaptoethanol

1.2 M sorbitol, 50 mM Tris, pH 7.5

Lyticase solution-500 U/ml in 50 mM Tris, pH 7.5

10% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS)-used for checking protoplast formation

Lysis buffer-100 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 100 mM EDTA, 150 mMNaCl, 50 micrograms/ml RNase A

Lysis buffer with 2% SDS

95% Ethanol-stored at minus 20 degree Celcius

TE buffer-10 M Tris, pH 8, 1 mM EDTA

3 M potassium acetate, pH 5.5

Here are the step by step methods:

Bacterial DNA Extraction using InstaGene® Matrix

In spite of using Phenol and Chloroform to extract bacterial DNA template, you can use the InstaGene matrix to be more efficient. This DNA extraction method is very easy, fast, and practical. Here is the procedure:

How to measure emulsification index (E24)

In biotechnology field, this method is used to measure the emulsification ability of biosurfactant. Emulsification index (E24) is used to characterize the biosurfactant in emulsifying, generally, the hydrophobic phase in hydrophilic phase.

Following s are the emulsification index procedure based on the published journal titled “The production of rhamnolipid by a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain isolated from a southern coastal zone in Brazil” by L.M. Prieto, et al.:
